Using this mod I want to imbed a custom Ping script into the page.

The script works fine, it pings a web address or IP fine however, the results are outputted to the very top of the web page, above the logo. I want the results to output right underneath the field that you type the web address/IP into.

Here is the ping script:

Code:

<?php 
 
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); 
 
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1); 
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'page_ping'); // change this depending on your filename 
 
$phrasegroups = array( 

); 
 
$specialtemplates = array( 
     
); 
 
$globaltemplates = array( 
    'page_ping', 
); 
 
$actiontemplates = array( 

); 
 
chdir('/home/USERNAME/public_html/');
require_once('./global.php');  

// Start Ping
$_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
if($_GET['do'] == 'ping')
{
$_domain = $_POST['domain'];
		echo "<pre>";
                   system ("ping -w 10 -c 5 $_domain");

  		echo "</pre>";
}

// End Ping

$pingresult = $_POST['ping -w 10 -c 5 $_domain'];

$navbits = array(); 
$navbits[$parent] = 'Ping'; 

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits); 
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";'); 
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('page_ping') . '");'); 

?>

Here is my template:

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle]</title>
$headinclude
</head>
<body>
$header

$navbar

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="tcat">Ping</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">

Enter the IP Address or domain name of the server that you want to ping.<br>


<form method='post' action='page_ping.php?do=ping'><input type='text' name='domain' value=''>&nbsp;<input type='submit' value='Ping'></form>

<br /><br />

$pingresult

<br />

</td>
</tr>
</table>

$footer
</body>
</html>

You can try it yourself here: http://www.itresource.com.au/page_ping.php

What do I need to do to get this working correctly? I've tried many different things to get this working - currently this seems to be the most 'functional' for lack of a better word.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Create a template for it instead of using 'echo'.

Regular echo is only suitable for debug with vBulletin.

Sorry, I'm going to need a bit more detail. I don't understand!

All your display should be in your templates. The PHP code should not print any output into the browser (except for the final print_output), but instead assign all the data into variables for use in the template.

Hmmm! Not having much luck with this. I even tried dynamic AJAX inclusions using a script from dynamic drive and I still couldn't get it to work properly.

Unfortunately, I'm not the most talented coder out there.

Use this PHP instead of yours. The template doesn't need to be changed (keep the one you posted above).

PHP Code:


			
<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// ##################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'page_ping');

$globaltemplates = array(
    'page_ping'
);

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions

{
    $domain = $_POST['domain'];
    system("ping -w 10 -c 5 $domain", $pingresult);
}

// prepare navbits
$navbits = array();
$navbits[] = 'Ping';
$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);

// spit out html
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('page_ping') . '");');
?>

I had something similar to what you have posted but I there were a few errors in mine when I tried to run it.

There are no errors in yours but check it out now (http://www.itresource.com.au/page_ping.php). I wont bother explaining, you will see the results yourself.

Now no results appear, just a 0 under the form.
