title: PHP > Ping With No Root Access
body: <p>I want to ping a single ip address fast and easy with a little ping script, I dont know if this is possible I have looked at other techniques but those required me to have root access to my server which I dont. So I was wondering if anyone knew how to do this I have seen a couple of people using Nmap but I cant get the hold of that.</p>
  
  <p>If anyone has any ideas please post.</p>
