Sitmap Submission For: Google,Yahoo,Ask & MSN (PHP SOURCE)

Since this fits into multiple categories (because its for 4 different search engines and its in PHP) I wasn't sure where the correct place to post. So I'm posting it here, if this is the wrong spot please move it and I apologize.

This simple PHP code takes the variable $sitemapurl which is the full url of your sitemaps.org and "PINGS" (submits) to Google, Yahoo, MSN and ASK.com. Yes I know technically its not a ping persay, however as this is concerned it doesn't matter.

Using this code can't guarantee that you will be added to the search engines, or your website listings will be updated. However, this just makes the process easier.

As google is concerned some recommend creating an account with google webmaster tools instead.

        $sitemapurl = "http://$thisdomain/sitemap.xml";
        $Yahoo = "http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/ping?sitemap=" . $sitemapurl;
        $MSN = "http://webmaster.live.com/ping.aspx?siteMap=" . $sitemapurl;
        $ASK = "http://submissions.ask.com/ping?sitemap=" . $sitemapurl;
        $Google = "http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ping?sitemap=" . $sitemapurl;
        $GoogleResponse = file_get_contents($Google);
        $MSNResponse = file_get_contents($MSN);
        $YahooResponse = file_get_contents($Yahoo);
        $ASKResponse = file_get_contents($ASK);
        if(strpos($GoogleResponse, "Your Sitemap has been successfully")!==false){
            $GoogleStatus = "Successful";
        }
        else{
            $GoogleStatus = "<b style=\"color:red;\">UnSuccessful</b>";
        }
        if(strpos($MSNResponse, "Thanks for submitting your sitemap")!==false){
            $MSNStatus = "Successful";
        }
        else{
            $MSNStatus = "<b style=\"color:red;\">UnSuccessful</b>";
        }
        if(strpos($YahooResponse, "Update notification has successfully submitted")!==false){
            $YahooStatus = "Successful";
        }
        else{
            $YahooStatus = "<b style=\"color:red;\">UnSuccessful</b>";
        }
        if(strpos($ASKResponse, "Your Sitemap has been successfully received")!==false){
            $ASKStatus = "Successful";
        }
        else{
            $ASKStatus = "<b style=\"color:red;\">UnSuccessful</b>";
        }
        echo "<b>Google's Sitemap submission:</b> " . $GoogleStatus . "<br>";
        echo "<b>Yahoo's Sitemap submission:</b> " . $YahooStatus . "<br>";
        echo "<b>MSN's Sitemap submission:</b> " . $MSNStatus . "<br>";
        echo "<b>ASK's Sitemap submission:</b> " . $ASKStatus . "<br>";
