PHP Script for Pinging

[xtranophilst]

I want to write a PHP script that just pings the following two links, just send a request whenever the PHP script is executed:

[so that my sitemaps will be notified to the search engines]

 

http://submissions.ask.com/ping?sitemap=http://www.mysite.com/sitemap_index.xml

http://www.bing.com/webmaster/ping.aspx?siteMap=http://www.mysite.com/sitemap_index.xml

 

Just wanted to complete the request of these two queries.

I did it with javascript form submission.

But how can i do it in simplest way in PHP?

 

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

You can use file_get_contents() or cURL. Since you're not posting data file_get_contents() will work fine.

 

ex:

$var = file_get_contents('http://submissions.ask.com/ping?sitemap=http://www.mysite.com/sitemap_index.xml');
