php to know if I am connected to the net

[Anon]

Hello folks,

Is there a way to know if my website(local) is connected to internet or is not?

I can only think about trying some fopen() script, or something similar to detect if the website (local) is online.

Regards,

I made a function for you.
Put online.txt on your website and put something in it so it's not 0 bytes.

<?
function online_status()
{
$string = "My webserver is ";
$fp = fopen("http://url.com/online.txt","r");
if($fp)
{
echo "$string ONLINE";
}
else
{
echo "$string OFFLINE";
}

USAGE:
<?
online_status();
?>
