Well, the reason I didn't do that at first was that I could have done any of the methods that I've tried incorrectly, which is why I figured I'd ask what works and then focus on that method... but, I've tried to ping them, use fopen, and use fsocketopen... but nothing says that I've used any of them the way I should have :) I also tried to use the scripts that I found at hotscripts.com but I always seem to get inconsistent results and it must be accurate.
