The next way to handle this might be to code an AIR app. Then it's a
simple js trap to see if connectivity exists.

Hi all.
I'w writing a PHP app that is designed to run over a LAN, so
internet connection for the server is not really essential. Some
users may deliberately not connect it to the internet as a security
precaution.
But I'd like the app to make use of an internet connection if it
exists to check for an update, and notify the user.
Is there a simple way for a PHP script to check if it has an
internet connection?
I thought of this :
if(fsockopen("www.google.com", 80)){
// we are connected
}
Is this OK or is there something better for the purpose?
