As I'm a newbie to php/mysql I was wondering if you have come across any tutorials about website monitoring, I own a few websites and would like to run a script on one site to monitor my others. I would be very greatful if you could help me.
Thank you

Well to check if a site is up, you can use this:

<?php
$site = "http://www.yoursite.com";
if(fsockopen($site,80)===TRUE) {
echo $site." is up!";
}
else {
echo "$site is down :(";
}
?>

That's got you on your way!

Shorter:

<?php
$site = "http://www.yoursite.com";

echo (fsockopen($site,80)===TRUE) ? "$site is up!" : "$site is down!";
?>

No need for that lengthy if statement

If your just looking for a short section as to if your site is up/down then always go for the shortest code possible
