PHP Ping Map

[Brianfree]

Hi, im am trying to write a simple php page which I can overlay results as layers over a drawing and refresh every 60 seconds.

What I need to program to do is ping a list of ip addresses if there is a response then show a green icon or text else show a red icon or text.

I would need to list ip addresses and names in an array so it is easy to maintain devices?

Was also thinking, if there is no response a counter could be displayed for attempts until back on line?

Please can anyone point me in the correct direction?

Many thanks

Brian

You can set the page up to autorefesh every x number of second using a meta tag or JS,or even use Ajax to run the ping on the server this of course would fall outside the scope of this forum.


Once you get your PHP to run, you would need to parse the ping results to identify whether its active or not.

Look at the system() function.

You can issue a standard terminal ping command and get its output back.
