Trying to do it that way would give an error like, unexpected equals sign, expected ')' (not 100% sure what the error would be, but it's something along those lines).

Anyways, the server ip and port is the 'key', and the restart script path is the 'value' - the key can be accessed like, foreach($servers as $key), but to access the value, you'd need to do, foreach($servers as $key => $value) - hopefully that made sense, wasn't sure how to explain it.

If you're just starting with PHP, have a look at php.net, there's a lot of helpful documentation there - just goto php.net/function.name (Edit: function.name being the function you're curious about, like, php.net/explode for example)

Thanks, I get it now! And thanks for the links, just what I need

foreach($servers as $value) is the default result. To access the key you'd have to do foreach($servers as $key => $value).

You mixed it;)

So this method only works if the process has crashed. If the server has hung with an "Assertion failed" message in console this won't detect that the server has actually crashed and needs restarting, even though HLSW will show it as timed out. Does anyone know of a way to detect this type of crash and automatically restart it?

It's probably not best to check a servers online status via TCP for various reasons.

Here is a function I whipped up you can stick in that script (remember to add back the retry attempt checks):

PHP Code:

function ServerOnline($ip, $port, $connect_timeout, $timeout)
{
    $fp = @stream_socket_client("udp://{$ip}:{$port}", $errno, $errstr, $connect_timeout);
    if(!is_resource($fp))
        return false;
    
    stream_set_timeout($fp, $timeout);
    
    fwrite($fp, "\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF\x55\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF");
    $buffer = fread($fp, 1);
    fclose($fp);
    
    if(!strlen($buffer))
        return false;
    
    return true;
} 


This should work for all Source/GoldSrc servers.

Just a quicky to say "thanks", used a mix of the suggestions and while they were updating, I got emails yay!
