Little functions to get the Steam server status (and echo it, depending on the function you'd like to use) from http://issteamdown.com. Supposed to be used in chat bots and similar things.

steamstatus.php

<?php

function echoSteamStatus()
{
	echo (strpos(file_get_contents('http://issteamdown.com'), 'Steam is down') ? 'Steam is down.' : 'Steam is up.').' Source: http://issteamdown.com';
}

function getSteamStauts()
{
	//true means it's up, false means it's down
	return (strpos(file_get_contents('http://issteamdown.com'), 'Steam is down') ? false : true);
}
