Checking Remote Server

[Brian]

Hello,

I am working on a script that will check to make sure a remote server is online, and if it is online include a file (on.php), and if the remote server is offline include the file (off.php) instead on the page.

If some one could show me how to do this I would be forever in there gratitude.

Thanks!

Use fsockopen() (http://php.fastmirror.com/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php) I think.

I was wondering if anyone else could show me an example.

<?php
$fp = fsockopen ("www.php.net", 80);
if (!$fp) {
include('on.php');
} else {
fclose ($fp);
include('off.php');
}
?>
