It does not like those lines starting with ":", where are they names for those values?

Well, as I understand, your script does not only return one value (this would be the simplest form of a custom script). Of course, it is possible to have a scripts return more than one value, but as stated in http://www.cacti.net/downloads/docs/html/data_input_methods.html this must follow a defined syntax: <parm1>:<value1> <parm2>:<value2> ... <parm n>:value n>
What I do not understand at the moment ist: what is the meaning of those strings in your example that are placed in front of the ":"? Are they host names?

Reinhard and Tony,

Yes, they are hostnames (description names) and the numbers are the uptime in percent.

(SELECT description, availability FROM cacti.host)

I cannot understand why (when executed by cacti) return me this error...

09/23/2005 11:43:18 AM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[0] CMD: c:\php\php-win.exe -q D:\cacti\alvaro3.php, output: U

09/23/2005 11:43:18 AM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[0] WARNING: Result from CMD not valid. Partial Result: SERVER XYZ:99.2973

And how to fix this.

Thank you,

Alvaro

You should modify your script so that it takes the hostname as an input parameter. And the output should only return the value (uptime in percent); no need to output the hostname. So it may look like
