Simple script to use the Ping PHP library and print a list of servers and their statuses. Written for a school that needs to track whether some local Apple TVs are active.

apple-tv-status.php

<?php

/**
 * @file
 * Show the status of various Apple TVs.
 */

// Place Ping.php in the same folder as this script.
require_once('Ping.php');

use JJG\Ping as Ping;

// Define a list of servers to check. Each item in the array is one server; the
// key is the title of the server, and the value is the ip address or host name
// that will be checked.
$servers_to_check = array(
  'Google' => 'www.google.com',
  'Apple' => 'www.apple.com',
  'Yahoo' => 'www.yahoo.com',
  'Apple TV - Room 201' => '192.168.1.123', // Define as many as you'd like.
);

// Print a tite for the page.
print '<h1 class="title">' . 'Server Status Page' . '</h1>';

// Begin an unordered list.
print '<ul class="server-list">' . "\r\n";

// Loop through the servers defined above, and print the status of each.
foreach ($servers_to_check as $name => $address) {
  // Begin the list definition.
  print '<li class="server"><span class="server-name">' . $name . '</span>';

  // Ping the server, and print an up or down status. You can use CSS to hide
  // the 'Up' or 'Down' text and replace it with a graphic like a red or green
  // status indicator.
  $ping = new Ping($address);
  $latency = $ping->ping();
  if ($latency) {
    print '<span class="status up">Up</span>';
  }
  else {
    print '<span class="status down">Down</span>';
  }

  // End the list item definition.
  print '</li>';
}

// End the unordered list.
print '</ul>';

?>

Sorry about that; it’s this PHP ping library: https://github.com/geerlingguy/Ping

Thanks Jeff. I’m actually wondering if you seen anything out there written in PHP, that would give me the results for example if I ping an IP addresses using CMD Line or terminal. My goal is to query a DB that has a list of IP’s. Create an array and then display the results for all IP’s indicating the following (maybe output as JSON) IP address: 100.200.300.400 64 bytes from 100.200.300.400 IP address: 500.600.700.800 64 bytes from 500.600.700.800 IP address: 900.110.120.130 Request timeout I would like the results as described above or here is another screenshot from the terminal: <img width="478" alt="Screen Shot 2020-08-11 at 10 52 46 AM" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/58951223/89914755-7702cf80-dbc3-11ea-8119-dc4c918e11de.png"> Again having the code parse out in JSON [ { "ip_address":"108.176.82.50", "results":"64 bytes from 108.176.82.50"},{ "ip_address":"66.152.115.225", "results":"64 bytes from 66.152.115.225"},{ "ip_address":"209.217.208.162", "results":"Request timeout"}… ] Thank you for any help

Been using curl to check for server uptime, then was getting 0 code. I found this code useful.
