ICMP Ping

[Anon]

Hi,

I would like to ping a ip address (preferably that of the person visiting the website) a certain number of times, and then display the result of the ping for their viewing. Can anybody suggest a piece of code to do this. I do currently have a bit of a PHP script, which is below.

<?
$ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
$command = "ping -c$nop $ip";
exec($command, $result, $rval);
for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($result); $i++) {
echo "$nop $result[$i]<br>";
}
?>

This code does not work by the way ^_

What exactly do you mean "doesn't work"? There are very many factors that could cause this to not seem to work, including various routers between you and them not passing ICMP.
