Port Ping?

[Sven Dzepina]

Hello people,

I want to check with a php script if a port / serverservice is down.
It would be great if I can check the ping time, too.

But how I can realize that?

if ($exit_code = system ('ping www.styleswitch.de', $output)) {
// analyze the $output array
} else {
echo 'Ping failed. ';
}

Cheers,

That ping command will go on forever under Linux.
You need to specify ping -cX where X equals the number of times you want
to ping the remote host.

Hello,

but how I can read out the data?
I want to work with the results from the linux "ping"-command.
Can I get only the average from the ping.

Thanks!

How about having a look in the manual?

First of all, don't top post.

Second, you not only have to read the manual, you have to understand it.
Of course it doesn't say anything about ping - it's the manual entry for
the exec() function, und es sagt:

"Ist der Parameter /array/ angegeben, wird dieses mit jeder Zeile des
Befehlsausgabe gefüllt."

http://www.php.net/manual/de/function.exec.php

Read it and understand it. That should get you going.
