His code actually is not working correctly for websites that have like /ping/RPC2 like blogsearch of google


To make it work I had to replace his ping function to

	function pingsite($sitetoping,$sourcetitle, $sourceurl, $debugping = false)
	{


$content = <<<EOT
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>weblogUpdates.ping</methodName>
<params>
 <param>
  <value>
   <string>$sourcetitle</string>
  </value>
 </param>
 <param>
  <value>
   <string>$sourceurl</string>
  </value>
 </param>
</params>
</methodCall>
EOT;


$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $sitetoping);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, trim($content)); 
$result = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch); 
	 

	} //end function

With this you should be able to ping any website obviously your php need be compiled with curl support
