I am working on little project. Task is get ip or address from input field and then run ping command for that ip and finally print result in the webpage.

I have written code:

<FORM ACTION="pingIp.php">
    Enter Host: <INPUT name="host">
    <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Submit">
</FORM>

<div class="results"></div>

I don't know how to run ping command and retrieve results on webpage. Can you please give little php code as an example?

@Daan Where I will write this in php file "pingIp.php"! – Umair Feb 06 '15 at 14:18
Yes to be more precise: `$response = shell_exec('ping -c 4 '. $_POST['host']); ` – Daan Feb 06 '15 at 14:19
