There are uh.... posts attempting to explain how server sigs work. Reiz0r has some links in the AC Index I think.

And yeah, you could order one from me.

Server status sigs usually employ PHP to create a dynamic picture using

Code: [Select]

header(); to set the content type to image/png , jpg, gif whatever. XD

You simply poll the servers IP and depending on success / timeout you write either yes or no into it. The PHP manual has some good information about this.

You can probably piece it together using these things:

Code: [Select]

header("Content-type: image/png");http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php

Code: [Select]

$im = ImageCreateTrueColor($width, $height);http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecreatetruecolor.php

Code: [Select]

//Account
$up = @fsockopen("70.38.11.218", 6900, $errno, $errstr, 5);
if($up) {
//Online
fclose($up);
}else {
//Offline
}http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php
