I have no idea where to ask this question.... so maybe some one can steer me to where this question should be asked.
I am in the process of designing a new pinger to ping a system to let them know a blog has been updated.. So in order not to aggravate the pinging companies out there, I am trying to devise a php program or something that I can place on a site that I own and ping to my hearts desire and not bother anyone during the testing process..
(In other words I am designing a new pinger and need a testing base to ping.)
About the 100 times I ping a real company I will be banned forever... and I just don't want to piss them off anyway..
Below is an example of the XML code that a normal pinger website sends to me when I ping them... This particular one is a fail response, but the only thing I need is someone to steer me as to how to place the file on my server so I can ping it and get back what ever response I insert into the file...
<?xml·version="1.0"?>
<methodResponse><params><param><value><struct>
<member><name>message</name>
<value>Can't accept the ping 
because the URL must begin 
with <name>flerror</name><value><boolean>1</boolean>
</value></member></struct></value></param>
</params></methodResponse>
1. Can I put this in the root of a directory and call it index.php then have the php use echo "all above" when the file is called....
2. Do I have to send all of this stuff in the header??
3. Can I send the name of the file on my server in the header and then send it that way...
4. I am completely in the dark as to how to do this.... I am avid programmer in PHP but have little to no experience with XML.
If anyone can help I would forever be in your debt...
Thanks in advance..
