Re: Network programming with php

You can use Zend calls to access some C or other langauage api's which inturn can access the network related stuff. Aaron Kenney wrote:

I agree. Why? The other concern is that php was never really meant to be a fully self-sufficient programming language. Its a hypertext pre-processor designed for the web. Maybe you are looking to get a network monitor onto a web site so you can access it from anywhere? I would still think that you would be better off handling the port sensing function with a non-web language. Maybe you can just have php read from a file the results of what the other language does.

Thank you for the link. This application is using C programming. I'm looking for some thing with PHP

Out of pure curiosity... why? You need a tool to do a job, why put artificial constraints on it. -Stut

I need to create an online system to monitors the ports for my

    local network. For example:

I have 50 ports and I need the system to give me an alarm

    whenever the port is down for any reason. Pulse I want the 
system to
    give me the manufacture name to be able to decide what kind of 
port
    it is (printer, PC, access point,...etc)

    This particular wheel already exists: http://www.nagios.org/. And
    that's
    just one example, there are several out there.
