 LGSL is a PHP Game Server Status Library and more.

 It works on both PHP 4 ( 4.3.0 + ) and PHP 5

 At the heart of LGSL is a single file that can query the status of many online games.

 The lgsl_protocol.php is easy to use, and tries to return data in a consistent format.

-------------------------

 However many people just want a pretty status block on their website, so LGSL comes

 packaged as a complete solution, to handle caching and displaying of information.


 The packages are designed to do 99% of what most people want with a few changes to a
  
 configuration file, however there is a whole lot more for those with PHP knowledge.

-------------------------

  LGSL started life as HLSL ( Half-Life Server List ) when some one I knew, working

  as a Game Server Provider, wanted a list showing the status of his servers.  I was new

  to PHP then, and said I would give it ago, as building something cool is a great way

  to learn rather than text book examples. After that some more games were requested, and

  I soon found that the format of status replies would vary greatly from game to game. So

  LGSL was born with the aim of acting as a universal translator for the different games, a

  tall order, but years later the project is going and being updated when I have the time :)

  However worryingly some games have started to restrict and encrypt status queries...
