README

A small component to check if the internet is accessible. Original idea by Stackoverflow #4860365. This project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

Usage

The very basic usage (with default parameters) looks like this:

$available = \lfischer\internet\Internet::available();

But of course there are some options you can provide to handle the responses as you need them:

use \lfischer\internet\Internet;
use \lfischer\internet\InternetException;
use \lfischer\internet\InternetProblemException;

// Check the availability by connecting to Google on port 80.
$available = (new Internet('www.google.com', 80))->check();

//
try {
    $internet = new Internet(
        'www.google.com', 
        80, 
        Internet::EXCEPTION_ON_UNAVAILABILITY + Internet::PROBLEM_AS_EXCEPTION
    );

    $available = $internet->check();
} catch (InternetException $e) {
    // The internet is not available.
    $internet->getErrorString();
    $internet->getErrorNumber();
    $e->getMessage();
} catch (InternetProblemException $e) {
    // There was a problem while checking the availability.
     $internet->getErrorString();
     $internet->getErrorNumber();
     $e->getMessage();
 }

Options

You can pass some options to change the behaviour in case of problems.

• Internet::EXCEPTION_ON_UNAVAILABILITY
  Will throw an InternetException exception if the internet is unavailable (instead of returning false).
• Internet::PROBLEM_AS_EXCEPTION
  Will throw an InternetProblemException exception if the internet availability could not be checked due to a problem (instead of returning false).
• Internet::PROBLEM_AS_TRUE
  Will return true in case of a problem during the availability check since you'd like to assume something else went wrong.

Static code analysis and code style
