Why do you ask such things in otland? Do you really expect someone to waste the time and write tutorials for you? Just use google, there is plenty of information. Here is example of how to receive information from a game server (TFS):

 $info = chr(6).chr(0).chr(255).chr(255).'info';
            $sock = @fsockopen("127.0.0.1", 7171, $errno, $errstr, 1);
            if ($sock)
            {
                    // Receive data from server
                fwrite($sock, $info);
                $data = '';
                while (!feof($sock))
                {
                    $data .= fgets($sock, 1024);
                }
                fclose($sock);
                
                    // parse server status information
                preg_match('/players online="(\d+)" max="(\d+)"/', $data, $matches);
                $server['status'] = 1;
                $server['players_online'] = $matches[1];
                $server['players_max'] = $matches[2];
                
                    // uptime
                preg_match('/uptime="(\d+)"/', $data, $matches);
                $h = floor($matches[1] / 3600);
                $m = floor(($matches[1] - $h*3600) / 60);
                $server['uptime'] = $h.'h '.$m.'m';
                
                    // monsters
                preg_match('/monsters total="(\d+)"/', $data, $matches);
                $server['monsters'] = $matches[1];
                
                $server['last_check'] = time();
            }
            else
            {
                $server['status'] = 0;
                $server['players_online'] = 0;
                $server['players_max'] = 0;
                $server['uptime'] = 0;
                $server['last_check'] = time();
            }

Study, experiment and once you have more specific problems, then it's ok to ask for help.
