if we use this one
if(fopen("http://www.ntc.gov.au","r"))
{
echo "success";
}else
{
echo "false";
}
result is false.

with fsockopen, we can ONLY check "www.ntc.gov.au", and we can not
check if the whole url is reachable or not.
It seemed that fsockopen is only valid to check host name, while not
the whole ip string.

Any good idea to check the who ip string instead of just host name?

thanks.
