Trying to ping a server using
function pingDomain($domain){
$starttime = microtime(true);
$file = fsockopen ($domain, 80, $errno, $errstr, 10);
$stoptime = microtime(true);
$status = 0;
if (!$file) $status = -1; // Site is down
else {
fclose($file);
$status = ($stoptime - $starttime) * 1000;
$status = floor($status);
}
return $status;
}
And I'm now trying to pass that variable off to a mysql database, to record the attempts. What would be the best way to do this?
