I took the liberty of changing the subject of your e-mail because this
way everyone can follow it better.
Well, you can execute the ping command directly from within PHP and then
parse its input. For example:
<?php
preg_match ("/([0-1]) received/", shell_exec ("ping -c 1 -w 2
www.phparch.com 2>/dev/null"), $a);
if (count ($a) && $a[1])
echo "success";
else
echo "failure";
?>
This will work only under Unix, but you can very easily adapt it to
whatever os you need, as long as it supports pinging from the command
line.
