[SOLVED] Ping server from PHP

[Nil]

Hi,

I am new to PHP.

 

Can anyone has idea about how to write code to ping the web/application  server from PHP?.

 

If server is down then we should able to send an email.

 

I want this utility for web sites tracking.

 

Please help me suggest me any code.

 

Thanks,

Nil.

Take a look at the Pinging Scripts here http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Networking_Tools/Ping/index.html

exec('ping google.com');

<?php
$output = shell_exec('ping www.google.com');
echo "<pre>";
echo $output;
?>

you could also try.

 

<?php
$_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
echo "<b>Enter the IP or the domain name of the server that you are trying to ping.</b><br>";
echo "<form method='post' action='ping.php?do=ping'><input type='text' name='domain' class='input_login' value='$_ip'> <input type='submit' value='Ping' class='input_login'></form>";
if($_GET['do'] == 'ping')
{
$_domain = $_POST['domain'];
	echo "<pre>";
                   system ("ping -w 10 -c 5 $_domain");

  		echo "</pre>";
}
echo "<br>";
?>

Notice that the ping command will run until it is stopped unless otherwise specified using -c count
