Monitor if the remote host alive or not using PHP

The simplest way to find out if the remote host is alive or not is to use the ping utility. Pear provides such a convenient tool.

First, you need to install the right module

Code:

pear install Net_ping

Here is the php

PHP:

// include class
require ("Net/Ping.php");
 
// create object
$ping Net_Ping::factory();
 
// ping host and display response
if(!PEAR::isError($ping))
{
   $response $ping->ping('REMOTE_HOST_IP_or_name');
   //print_r($response);
   if( $response->_transmitted &&  $response->_received ==&& $response->_loss ==100)
   {
       mail("your email address""remote host  is not responding"date("Y-M-D H:i:s"), "From: your_email");
   }else{
    //server is OK
  }
 
}

The above code will send out email to you if the remote host is not responding. However, if the remote host is behind a firewall or if ping packets are blocked by firewall, the ping is not going to work.
