[SOLVED] Ping Multiple sites with script

[ibda12u]

Hello I'm trying to ping several websites in order to keep them alive. I have a simple script here that I use that works great for 1 website. but if I include another site, my script doesn't run. Is there a way I can run this script and have it open more than 1 site at a time?

 

<?php
ob_start();
include("http://mywebsite.com");
ob_end_clean();
?>

Can you show us the script that doesn't work?

 

In any case, it's better that you use CURL to do your requests if you simply want to ping.  Curl lets you set a timeout as well.

If you just need to hit some sites in order to keep it from inactivity, just do this:

 

<?php
$a = file_get_contents("http://yoursite1.com");
echo "Site#1 is " . strlen($a) . " bytes long.<BR><BR>";

$b = file_get_contents("http://yoursite2.com");
echo "Site#2 is " . strlen($b) . " bytes long.<BR><BR>";
?>

 

You get the point on how to do this for multiple websites...
