[PHP] Test Connection - fsockopen()

[Jason Williard]

I am trying to create a remote status page for my website.  So far, I 
have found the fsockopen() function and used the example code to create 
the following basic script:

<?php
$fp = fsockopen ("xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
        echo "Down\n";
}
else    {
        echo "Up\n";
        fclose ($fp);
}
?>
While this works when the server is UP, I get the following error when 
it is down along with the 'Down' output:

Warning: fsockopen(): php_hostconnect: connect failed in 
/****/public_html/status/test.php on line 2

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 in 
/****/public_html/status/test.php on line 2
Down

Can anyone help me out here?

Thanks,
Jason Williard
