Ok, I have this PHP script that I downloaded somewhere, I forget where, and it was written to ping weblogs.com. I was able to modify it to also ping blogrolling, but I couldn’t get it to ping blo.gs. Then I found Ping-O-Matic on scriptygoddess. If I can get the script to just ping them, then I will be pinging many services all at once and not have to configure the script for each one.
The problem is, I am not even sure if it is working.
The only info Ping-O-Matic gives is the url to ping: http://rpc.pingomatic.com/
Here is my code:
[code]$default_name = “#!/usr/bin/mom”;
$default_url = “http://usr-bin-mom.com/”;
function pingWeblogs($name="", $url="") {
global $default_name, $default_url;
if (!$name) $name = $default_name;
if (!$url) $url = $default_url;
$fp = fsockopen("rpc.pingomatic.com", 80, &$errnum, &$errstr);
if(!$fp) {
echo "$errstr ($errnum)<br>n";
$output = "ERROR!";
} else {
$len = strlen($name) + strlen($url) + strlen("<?xml version="1.0"?><methodCall><methodName>weblogUpdates.ping</methodName><params><param><value></value></param><param><value></value></param></params></methodCall>");
fputs($fp,"POST /RPC2 HTTP/1.0rn");
fputs($fp,"User-Agent: Bean's Weblogs.com Updater (PHP Stylin')rn");
fputs($fp,"Content-Type: text/xmlrn");
fputs($fp,"Content-length: $lenrnrn");
fputs($fp,"<?xml version="1.0"?><methodCall><methodName>weblogUpdates.ping</methodName><params><param><value>$name</value></param><param><value>$url</value></param></params></methodCall>");
$output="";
while(!feof($fp)) $output.=fgets($fp,4096);
fclose($fp);
}
$output = preg_replace("/.*</boolean>/si","",$output);
$output = preg_replace("/.*<value>/si","",$output);
$output = preg_replace("/</value>.*/si","",$output);
return $output;
}[/code]
All I changed was the url to ping. This is what it returns:
23 May 2004, 22:58:31 -- HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Mon, 24 May 2004 03:59:16 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.29 (Unix) mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_gzip/1.3.26.1a mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 Vary: Accept-Encoding Connection: close Content-Type: text/html
I have no idea what that is. Did it ping? Help?
