Code:

/*
shard_status.php
v1.0

This is an example of how to get the status of a UO emulator (RunUO, ServUO, Sphere, etc.)
by sending a packet to the shard address:port.

\x7f\x00\x00\x01\xf1\x00\x04\xff

Newer ServUO Shards will return something like this:
Array ( [0] => ServUO [1] => Name=My Shard [2] => Age=3 [3] => Clients=1 [4] => Items=112187 [5] => Chars=2934 [6] => Mem=217514K [7] => Ver=2 )

RunUO and Sphere Shards don't return version:
Array ( [0] => ServUO [1] => Name=My Shard [2] => Age=3 [3] => Clients=1 [4] => Items=112187 [5] => Chars=2934 [6] => Mem=217514K )

Awesome work :D

Some PHP servers disallow the use of sockets in PHP, do you have a cURL alternative too?

You can only check to see if the port is open, but you won't be able to perform fread/fwrite type functions with curl.

So, if you just want to check up/down status, you could try something like this:

Code:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"localhost:2593");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "localhost\\r\
");
$data = curl_exec ($ch);
echo $data;
