A easy way is to run the code from the command line and redirect the output to a text file, which you can print as shown below. Assuming your code filename is Ping.php.

c:\php Ping.php > pingdata.txt

To get the IP element for example use the following:

$ip = $rawData->_target_ip;

and so on.

Now if you want tot get the ‘_raw_data’ element, you will see that it is an array, so we will have to loop through the same, like this:

foreach($rawData->_raw_data as $data)
echo $data . “\n”;

Hello,

I have found your post about pinging in php with the pear net_ping class.

Could you please tell me how I can use the output data? I have no clue how to use the data so I echo for example the IP adres on a page.

By thanking you in advance,
