Hi again, I am writing a PHP script to test if the server on which it is running is currently connected to the Internet. If so, the main page will display a notice saying "We are now online", else it will say "Not connected" Any ideas on how to do this with PHP? I'm guessing it would involve some kind of socket connection... TIA, Vikram -- I took an IQ test, and the results were negative.
