Hi, This is not exactly fall in the category of php and mysql, but hopefully that you can shed a light for me. My question is how can we write a php ping script to ping some website and output the ip address of the website automatically on webpage? It's the same idea that ping www.google.com in cmd prompt(@win2k)but output the result in a webpage. Any feedbacks and info will be appreciated. Thanks.
