CGI->PHP | Very usefull script

[wooolF[RM]]

Hello all!
Just found a CGI script that checks any given server and idf it's alive, it returns live.gif (green.gif etc). If not - dead.gif (red.gif).
Very useful :)

The problem is : I can't use CGI on my host and my hoster wont enable it. Could anyone please convert it to PHP?

Any help appreciatted.

<?php
if (!$url) {echo "No URL";exit;}

$fp = @fopen("$url","r");
if ($fp)
{
echo "The address valid!";
}
else
{
echo "The address invalid";
}
?>

is the code very basically doing the same thing.. Save it to a file (eg.online.php) and upload it to your server. Then call your file like

url/online.php?url=http://www.domain.com/filetocheck.html

it will return "address is valid" message if the url(page) exits.

Of course you can enhance the code if you want, that is just the algorithm in PHP.
