In addition to the valid suggestions thus far, another option which may suit your purpose is to display an image from webserver2 in the page on webserver1. You can put a JavaScript redirection in the image's onload event. -----Original Message----- From: Brent Baisley [mailto:brent@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 10 May 2005 15:44 To: balwant singh Cc: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: how to know whether web server of a remote machine is running or not Try connecting to it on port 80, the default for web servers. You can actually play around by connecting to a webserver (or mail server) through telnet. On the command line just type "telnet website.com 80". If the server is up, you should be able to interact with the webserver. Type something and press return. If you didn't type a valid command, you'll get some html code back. You should be able to do something like this with all the commands in php, I have looked into which ones.
