Run a serverside port-check using an HTML button?

Question

I apologise if my question wasn't worded correctly, I wasn't sure how to put it. Also forgive me if it isn't in HTML and turns out to be some other web scripting language. I don't know the capabilities of PHP or ASP or ColdFusion etc etc.

What I'm trying to do is have a page on my web server that when a user clicks a button on the page, the server will check if a port is running on it's own IP with a preset port for each button, I want multiple buttons with the same IP but different ports to be pinged.

Example: Button 1 (Terraria Server) is clicked, server pings 127.0.0.1:7777 and tells the user if it gets a response or not. Button 2 (Minecraft Server) is clicked, server pings 127.0.0.1:25565 and tells the user etc etc.

You can't do this in HTML. If you are working with PHP, you can look at this question for your answer.
