Network Status

Like to check my intrAnet for connection to the intErnet

[HeadBut]

I'd like to <Blink>Flash</blink> a notice, on one of my web pages, the status of the internet connection. I've looked at the Network Fuinctions page at php.org but I'm guessing someone has a simple solution for this.

Thanks in advance

You mean you want to see whether or not you are connected to your ISP?

I think that would do it.

You could always attempt to retrieve an external web page. Have a look at fsockopen [php.net] too.
