Topic: How to Ping

I've searched for a way to "ping" online services like technorati.com, just like blogs do. Unfortunately, I haven't found anything about it.

Is there any way a "ping" could be generated everytime there is a new post?

Thank you.

Re: How to Ping

If your host allows it, 

exec('ping '.$ip);

But unless you have a dedicated server, I doubt it tongue
Haven't used this, but maybe it works: http://be2.php.net/manual/en/function.imap-ping.php

No ping services like ping-o-matic, I'm looking for  a such thing too.
It lacks of a nice plugin for that ;'(

Re: How to Ping

Maybe this extension will help you.

Edit: Oh, this extension is for PunBB 1.3. But I think it's possible to make a mod for 1.2 based on it.
