Icecast - Aug 2004 - get status.xml's variable using a php file

hi everyone

i'm trying to get the variables from status.xml using php  (based on the
Shoutcast status file from casterclub.com)

here is my file

<?php

$ip = "xxx.yyy.zzz";              
$port = "xxxx";             
$password = "xxxx";

<p>////////////////start the parsin
action\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
//opening socket
$fp = fsockopen("$ip", $port, &$errno, &$errstr, 30); //open
connection
if(!$fp) {
 $success=2;  //set if no connection

//edit html to fit your stations site, this display is for offline status
echo "server is offline ";
}

<p><p>if($success!=2){ //if connection
 fputs($fp,"GET http://$password@$ip:$port/admin/stats.xml"); //get
stats.xml
 while(!feof($fp)) {
  $page .= fgets($fp, 1000);
 }
 
 
 $loop = array("client_connections","source_connections");
//define all the variables to get (delte any ones you don't want)
 $y=0; //dummy variable for while loop
 
  while($loop[$y]!=''){ //while there are things in loop
  $pageed = ereg_replace(".*<$loop[$y]>", "", $page);
// extract data
  $phpname = strtolower($loop[$y]); //make names in loop lowercase for variable
names
  $$phpname = ereg_replace("</$loop[$y]>.*", "",
$pageed); //finish extracting data
  if($loop[$y]==SERVERGENRE || $loop[$y]==SERVERTITLE || $loop[$y]==SONGTITLE)
//if for code clean-up (if you have problems with variables with URL encoding
(i.e. %20 for space put them in this loop)
   $$phpname = urldecode($$phpname); // replace URL code with regular text (i.e.
%20 = space)
 
 ##More stuff that prints##
echo ('$'.$phpname.' = '.$$phpname.' <BR>');
 ##Stop here. Your server will be upset if you comment out the next line of code
($y++;).##

  $y++; //update dummy variable for while loop
 }
 
 fclose($fp); //close connection
 echo "$client_connection";
}

?>

<p><p>but here is what i get instead for the output:

$client_connections = MountPoint,Connections,Stream Name,Current
Listeners,Description,Currently Playing,Stream URL Global,Client:83075 Source:
184.....

exactly like the file status2.xsl

can anyone show me what is wrong w/ the code above?

thx a lot

i don't khow really much about php
i just used the source file from casterclub.com for the shoutcast server and
improvise/adjust it from there for the icecast server.

apparrently i don't know how to authenticate correctly as this is what is
returned as well

$client_connections = HTTP/1.0 401 Authentication Required WWW-Authenticate:
Basic realm="Icecast2 Server" You need to authenticate

fputs($fp,"GET /admin/stats.xsl ");

where do i put the $password and $username in the code above? thx

PHP has HTTP and XML support, you should use it - this code is extremely 
bug-ridden, and you'll be hard pressed to make this approach ever work.

Hi:

I've not messed with any of this stuff, but surely it would be easier to
use the PHP XML parsing stuff than trying to extract the data manually?
