it works but you need to have also a writeable empty file called spider.db for cache in the same directory or else you'll get an error ...

you might wanna set error_reporting to E_ALL or E_ALL & ~ E_NOTICE & ~ E_WARNINGS (for debug reasons)
because thats why you see a blank page and no error i guess.

but what still bothers me is why "the dots spider bug" is still not resolved Sigh
easy+ promised that he will do it but he forgot... so now some players name are seen like this :
Name: ^xAFFB71^xAFFB71^x8D8D8D..^x95F
Name: ^o^0^xFF9900.^s^o^xFF6B00^0..K^
Name: ^3...^b^9..

Just great! lots of colored dots players Sad

why the engine still cant send the guys names in #AB format even now when ppl have #AB format names?

if have other problems in integrating the spider you can contact me by pm or msn Happy

P.S: Here are the outputs of the 2 example files: (the zip file)

Yeah i figured that part, first i thought it was problem with my server and write permissions, but when i created by my self spider.db file i got server list.

Any help is welcome!! I made spider work, but i was thinking to make it like joomla component to integrate it in my site. i noticed one bug, When maps are not in first order they disappear from list.

I think the problem is here : 

foreach ( $query['players'] as $player ) {
	printf('<p>Name: %s<br />TLD: %s<br />Score: %d<br />Ping: %dms<br />Team: %s<br />Frozen: %s</p>',
	$player['name'],
	$player['tld'],
	$player['score'],
	$player['ping'],
	$teams[ $player['team'] ],
	$player['flags'] & SPIDER_PLAYER_FROZEN ? 'yes' : 'no');
}

instead of $player['name'] should be $player['xp_name']
but it depends when you get the server status if you can access this cvar

Wanna avoid seeying mow, skull & co Surprise

no .. there is no xp_name cvar from the server status .. because the quake 3 server still send the names like in 1.03... (i remember the search player action from the old e+ spider with the same problem)

Re: How spider api works?

I was thinking more on explanations how to get all parts together, and explain users how to get spider to work like on e+ website. Right now example_list is just raw display of servers, no links to full server details (like example_query), no images, no styling, just colored server names. I can do styling since im familiar with css, and i already created component for joomla websites today (it can be easy created for drupal or any other cms), but with server list and query i will need little more research. if anyone is already familiar with this, help will speed up things Happy
