Server status

-----------------------------------

Hello,
Im trying to check several server status (to see if their online or offline) at the same time. How do I make it so that the script doesn't have to always check the sites status, because it makes the page load really slow..
Im using this function

function check_status($servers, $port) {

	$fp = @fsockopen($servers, $port, &$errno, &$errstr, 1);
	
	if(!$fp) {
		return false;
	} else {
		fclose($fp);
		return true;
	}

}


I just check if the port is accessible or not, if it isn't then display 'Offline' as the status else display 'Online'. This is done for about 5 or more servers at a time..

Also, would this function cause the script to possiablly create problems for php  :roll:  somehow?

Thanks.
