another option. i use ftp. configure vsftpd to timeout in one second
(for security). the advantage is you can try to authenticate with
another server.
function tryaccount_ftp ($user, $password, $server = "localhost") {
$ret = 0;
$conn_id = ftp_connect ("$server");
$lr = ftp_login ($conn_id, "$user", "$password");
if ((!$conn_id) || (!$lr)) {
$ret = 0;
} else {
$ret = 1;
}
ftp_quit ($conn_id);
return $ret;
}
