Little script

[TarinC]

EDIT: Source Removed!

EDIT: The script is supposed to check if http is running(Requires Cron, Not important here though), if it isnt running, a counter is created on the file offline.txt. If the counter hits 5 it emails the user. If the number is bigger than 5, offline.txt auto resets.

EDIT: The script posted above is correct! It works fine

bump?

darn...i'm sorry if only i was good in PHP, i could probably find the error in a second but i don't fully understand it..sorry

edit-i'm just guessing but maybe cuz you never defined 'online'

[Chris S]

well can you describe what happens when you run the script. as i can't run it because you have made functions that i don't have to help test it with

also what does this script do. i think i have a general idea but...

[TarinC]

Sorry.. i added the wrong function. i edited the first post to include the new code and what its supposed to do.

[Chris Z]

wouldn't this just be easier if you basically said..."check this page, if it's not up then say http is offline"?

[TarinC]

well yes it is much easier but corey wanted some volenteers to notify him that http is down, this way, even if ur not on the server or visiting a site u will be emailed that http is down.

oh ya...i guess that is a good idea, but i though bryon or corey would be creating it lol oh well...that's ok umm well it could still do that, just check a site that's up a lot, i could volunteer my site (http://cgz09.com) to be the site it checks so we could still do my idea though, right, and still get emailed somehow?

A friend helped me out on the source. i edited the first post with the new source. it works! thanks for helping!

can you make it for multiple users? (emails)
