Hi, I've got a function/method in php, where socket communication is used, to determin if a host is live - however - there is drawback, because it's being registered as an invalid connection and the host gets blocked.
Now - whether this is acceptable behavior (I can't turn the whole thing off, while I really don't need it, cause all relevant mysql servers are on internal networks) is another matter. What I'd like to do, is mimmick mysql_ping() behavior, so that it's a valid connection. However - I'm not that farmiliar with C and it's scattered over several functions, constants and so on. So - in general - what would socket communication look like, to succesfully ping a database? PS.: the reason for using sockets is explained in this article: http://phpbuilder.com/columns/tanoviceanu20000912.php3 Best regards, Melvyn Sopacua WebMaster IDG.nl _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ If it applies, where it applies - this email is a personal contribution and does not reflect the views of my employer IDG.nl. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
