PHP is not designed to run 'constatnly running" scripts. If you try, you will geat an timeout (after 30 seconds). If you want to repeat pinging any server after x seconds, use REFRESH. In that way, your script will generate HTML page (with text "ping problems, waiting...") and refresh it running script again (and again and.... until you close browser window or go to another page). Try this: <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="x;URL=http://want.to.ping.it.again"> </head> ... </html> where "x" in third line is amount of seconds to wait
