Seems a bit OTT. Why do you need an iframe at all? What's wrong with
putting this in the main page itself:

<?php
$host = 'websitea.example.org';
$ping = `ping -c1 -q '$host'`;

print "<strong>Website A:</strong> ";
print (strstr($ping, '1 packets transmitted, 1 received'))
? '<var style="color:#090;background:#cfc">UP</var>'
: '<var style="color:#900;background:#fcc">DOWN</var>';
?>
