Before I ask for a PING function in a future build of PHP, is there a
way to ping a remote host using the existing PHP functions or modules?
Based on my knowledge gained from various sources and php.net's online
functional reference, there does not appear to be much support for LWP
anything.
I would like to know how to do, or perhaps you can build a function
in a future release that can do basically the same thing as outlined in the
following document for a similar function in Perl:
http://www.perl.com/pub/doc/manual/html/lib/Net/Ping.html
When my site was all html and Perl, I used this function to ping all of my
mirror download sites, and I coloured the ping value based on a range
(Ex: less than 150ms was green, greater than 600ms was red, etc.)
I need a way to incorperate this same functionality into my new all PHP
based website.
Thanks.
-Dave
