Website uptime check
By: Daniel
Do you ever want to check many websites to see if they are up or not? This code can help you check multiple sites all from one page.
function prepWWW($url) { $replace = array("http://" => "", "www." => ""); foreach($replace as $toReplace=>$replaceWith) { $url = str_replace($toReplace, $replaceWith, $url); } $parts = explode("/", $url); $newURL = strip_tags(addslashes($parts[0])); return $newURL; } $site = prepWWW("www.wlscripting.com"); $check = @fsockopen($site, 80); if($check) { echo "$site is up"; } else { echo "$site is down"; }
First off we create the prepWWW function. This just prepares the domain name for usage with fsockopen(). We strip out all extra parts to the url so we only get the main domain like: wlscripting.com NOT http://www.wlscripting.com
Then we just check the website with fsockopen() on port 80, which is the port that Apache or IIS runs on usually unless you configured it differently. This 80 can be changed to any other port number to checking other services like: FTP 21, cPanel 2082, WHM 2086, and so on.

I think this is great, but when trying to put two copies on it to monitor more than one site it crashes the second instance on the page. How can this be used to monitor many sites from one page?

Running multiple copies works just fine. What is your setup and how is your script setup?
Here is a demo of this running with multiple sites being checked:

Daniel – Thanks for this script! I find myself using it on my iPhone each morning as I’m driving to work. I made a few modifications to add a green “Check” and a red “X” depending on the site being up or down. Like I said I use this script mostly on my iphone and with the display being smaller, the graphics help me take a quick glance and know if I have a site in trouble or not… Here are the simple mods that I made:
if($check) {
echo “$site is up”;
} else {
echo “$site is down”;
Hope this helps anyone else using a smart phone…

Glad to hear that this script is being used.

Awesome script! Is it possible to have them enter what site they want?

Do you have a script that will check other services aside from http?

I’m getting a fatal error when i try to create a new page on WP. I think it has something to do with the new WP update. Is anybody else having a equivalent issue? Know how it can be fixed???? Cheers.

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

Sorry for the huge review,coach outlet store online but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
