FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:

If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.

Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package gameq

GameQ

GameQ is a PHP library for querying many kinds of multiplayer game and voice servers. A single GameQ instance can query mixed UDP, TCP, TLS, HTTP, and master-list protocols and return a consistent result structure.

This repository is the maintained SoftCreatR Media fork of Austinb/GameQ. Version 5 targets PHP 8.1 and newer, provides a documented migration path from 4.x, and deliberately modernizes the extension API while adding current protocol support, stricter parsing, bounded batching, and modern quality checks.

Highlights

183 game, voice-server, and generic protocol identifiers.
Concurrent mixed-protocol queries with configurable batch and response limits.
Normalized gq_* fields plus protocol-native data, players, teams, and join links.
Broad coverage through established families such as Source and GoldSource, GameSpy, Quake, Unreal, Doom 3, Frostbite, RakNet, and dedicated voice-server protocols.
Direct UDP, TCP, TLS, and SSL queries alongside protocols that use HTTP APIs, plugins, or public master lists.
PHPStan at maximum level, PHPUnit coverage for captured protocol responses, and automated compatibility checks within the GameQ 5 release line.

Installation

Composer is recommended:

GameQ requires PHP 8.1 or newer and the curl, libxml, simplexml, and xml extensions. The optional bz2 extension is only needed to decode compressed Source/A2S split responses. See the installation guide for standalone loading and platform details.

Quick start

The port in host is always the client/connect port. GameQ calculates the query port where a protocol has a known offset; use the per-server query_port option when the server uses a custom query port.

Documentation

Project documentation is maintained in the separate GameQ Wiki, updated from the useful parts of the upstream wiki for this fork and version 5.
