If by any chance you are using this function to check if a server/host is online/reachable and you are getting error messages when it is unreachable/offline, remember to use the 'error_reporting()' function... an example of the script I use to check if a server is online or not (for file download mirors, ect.) <?php error_reporting(0); $servertest = fsockopen("www.WEBSITE.com",80,$errno,$errstr,30); if (! $servertest) { echo("server offline"); } else { echo("server online"); } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+41765 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+41765&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+41765&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
