Hello,
I am trying to find a simple way to test to see if a web site
is up or not. I tried using
$file = file_get_contents("http://www.example.com/page.html";);
but when the site is down it takes too long and seems to time out
terminating the script rather than returning a false I can test.
Is there some way I can set a shorter limit? Or something?
Any other suggestions?
Best,
Craig
Try:
if ($unix)
{
system ("ping -c$count -w$count $host");
system("killall ping");
}
else
{
system("ping -n $count $host");
}
Cheers,
tedd
