It appears the function is trying to do too much work, and parsing the _result itself. I was able to fix and test Net/Ping/checkHost once I figured out what it was trying to do - the info it needs is already in the result object. function checkHost($host, $severely = true) { $this->setArgs(array("count" => 10, "size" => 32, "quiet" => null, "deadline" => 10 ) ); $res = $this->ping($host); if (PEAR::isError($res)) { return false; } if ($res->_received == 0) { return false; } if ($res->_received != $res->_transmitted && $severely) { return false; } return true; } /* function checkHost() */

This bug has been fixed in CVS. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better. Thank you Stede Bonnett! I've committed the fix to CVS and will release 2.4.4.
