Dear list,
I have this proposal: I work in ISP where we have a web site. On our web site, we would like to
ping, say 3 other distant web sites at every interval of 10 minutes. We would like to have the
result like say " The internet is down" message displayed on our homepage if the PING
doesn't get reply. If there is a reply, then nothing should be displayed. So I would like to
know the PHP functions/code to do that (i.e the PING function). I am sure that can be done in PHP.
Could someone please instruct me how to go about it.
Thanks.
