note 79605 added to function.fsockopen

Make a ping test with PHP The problem with fsockopen is you have to known the destination port. A real ping function could be : function php_ping($url) { $addr=parse_url($url); $host=$addr['host']; exec("ping -c 1 -w 1 $host", $list); if (strpos($list[4],"1 received")>0) { return true ; } return false; } But if your router refuse the ping ... the result will be always false > you may test both (fsockopen and ping) ---- Server IP: 195.221.21.36 Probable Submitter: 62.147.138.93 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/79605 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79605/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79605/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79605/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79605/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79605/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79605/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79605 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/79605 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
