something like:

$handle = fopen("http://www.example.com/";, "r");

if($handel == TRUE)
{
        print "online";

else
        print "offline";



This trues to read the file from the website.  it would be a better idea 
to specify a particular page, be it index.html or anthing else- but just 
pointing the the parent directory might lead to weird results.
