This will definitely help anyone using shared or non-dedicated environments. When I have the chance I will test this out and make sure its in good working condition. Thank you, Barry R.

We do not have any PEAR experts but fsockopen is fairly straight forward to use. The following snippet was found on the PHP Documentation site: [quote] <?php $fp = fsockopen ( "www.example.com" , 80 , $errno , $errstr , 30 ); if (! $fp ) { echo "$errstr ($errno)<br />\n"...
