Is there a php script that will contact an IP, and on a port.

If it recieves back, then echo "Online" . else echo "Offline"

lol. yup. can you install PEAR modules? if so, install Net_ping, then create a file with this code as its content:

<?php
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate");
header("Expires: Sat, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
// Number of times to Ping the host
$count = $_GET['count'];
// Host we are pinging
$url = $_GET['ip'];
// This is the Pear Net_Ping class call
require_once "Net/Ping.php";
$ping = Net_Ping::factory();
$ping->setArgs(array('count'=>1,'timeout'=>1));
// Set variables. I know I don't have to, but why not do things right?
$transmitted = 0;
$received = 0;
$loss = 0;
$text = "";

for ($i=0; $i< $count; $i++){
        //Send ping request
        $output = $ping->ping($url);
        // If the ping returns no errors, lets parse the results.
        if (isset($output->_transmitted)){
                // Raw data, if you want to see what it returned from the ping (full text)
                $raw = $output->_raw_data;
                // This is the transmitted count. if it's zero, that means it failed in transmission. We shouldn't get a zero, but this is to handle that instance
                $trans = (string)$output->_transmitted;
                // if it successfully transmitted, lets parse the result, and add it up.
                if ($trans == 1){
                        $transmitted++;
                        $received += (string)$output->_received;
                        if ((string)$output->_loss != 0){
                                $loss++;
                                $text .=".";
                        }

                        else{
                                $text .="#";
                        }
                }
                else{
                        $transmitted++;
                        $loss++;
                        $text .=".";
                }
        }
}
echo <<<EOF
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<PingResults Version='1.0'>
        <PingResult Host='$url' Text='$text' Trasmitted='$transmitted' Received='$received' Loss='$loss' />
</PingResults>
EOF;
?>

now, to use it, do this: http://yourdomain.tdl/ping_file.php?ip=SomeIPOrDomain&count=TimesToPing

it will return an xml file.

is there a php only solution to this, if not how can i get perl to work

 

Warning: require_once(Net/Ping.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/webhostg/public_html/failscape.com/ip.php on line 9

PEAR is a PHP module

Oh, fair warning: if you use my code, don't hit the box more times than you need to. I've ping'd a box 2000 times in less than 6 seconds using this script. It's nasty, but in a good way.

[plznty]

with my error how can i get it 2 work then

[jonsjava]

are you on your own server, or remotely hosted? if you're remotely hosted, and you have ssh access, try this

pear install Net_php

if that fails, you can contact your hosting agency, and request access to PEAR.

Other than that, you can always use shell_exec to handle that, but I thin you'll see drastically slower times.

Where would I find that on CPanel X.

Thanks for your support btw

um...can someone take over from here? time for me to go home, so I'll be out of pocket. My son loves my attention when I get in.
