THIS GIVES EXAMPLES OF HOW TO GET THE PLAYER NAMES FROM A LIST OF SERVERS

THIS IS BEST VIEWED IN A EDITOR THAT SUPPORTS COLOR SCHEMES ( LIKE NOTEPAD2 OR ULTRAEDIT )
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EASY TO FOLLOW BUT NO CACHING MEANS IT WILL CAUSE SLOW SITE LOADING IF USED FOR A WEBSITE BLOCK/MODULE.

<?php

  require_once "lgsl_protocol.php";

  $servers = array(
  "82.136.20.51:27015:halflife2",
  "85.133.16.51:27115:halflife2"
  );

  foreach ($servers as $address)
  {

    $address = explode(":", $address);
    $ip      = $address[0];
    $port    = $address[1];
    $game    = $address[2];
  
    $player_list = lgsl_query($ip, $port, $game, "players");
  
    foreach ($player_list as $id => $player)
    {
      $player['name'] = htmlspecialchars($player['name'], ENT_QUOTES);
      $player['name'] = mb_convert_encoding($player['name'],"HTML-ENTITIES","auto");

      echo "$player[name] <br />";
    }

THIS IS THE SAME AS ABOVE BUT CACHES TO FILE - YOU COULD CACHE TO SQL INSTEAD.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<?php

  $cache_time  = 1; // CACHE REFRESH TIME IN MINUTES

  $lines       = file("player_cache.txt");
  $last_line   = count($lines) - 1;
  $last_update = intval($lines[$last_line]);
  $time_check  = time() - ($cache_time * 60);
  
  if ($time_check < $last_update)
  {
    echo "THIS IS CACHED <hr /><br />"; // CACHED
  
    unset($lines[$last_line]); // REMOVE TIMESTAMP

    foreach ($lines as $line_number=>$line)
    {
      echo $line; // DISPLAY CACHED TEXT ON WEBSITE
    }
  }
  else
  {
    echo "THIS IS LIVE <hr /><br />"; // LIVE
  
    ignore_user_abort(true); // FINISH WRITING CACHE EVEN IF THE BROWSER IS CLOSED

    $fh = fopen("player_cache.txt","w");

    require_once "lgsl_protocol.php";
