Ping Code Script

[craigedmonds]

I am not sure this exists but I would to know if anyone else knows if the script exists in asp or php and I hope I am explaining it ok.

I have web servers in the US, UK, Germany and Spain.

I would like to install web pages on each server in each country where people can enter an ip address or domain name in order to ping them.

The purpose of this is to show clients the ping speeds to their server from a different country.

For example, if someone goes to the US server, they come to a page with a single field on it and they enter a domain name, say a domain or server in the UK.

When they click submit, the US server will attempt to ping the destination address and will show the ping speed etc in milleseconds etc. (kind of like how you do in in command line)

I hope this makes sense.

Does this script exist? I am willing to buy it or have someone make it for me.

I was working on something like that, but long time ago.
You need to have acccess to comand line from php, so if your website is on shared hosting that is not possible.

Thanks,

If you have PEAR can use this

I'd be careful with the whole idea, saw a few things about how php-ping could be hijacked for dos attacks.
Which would suck.
