Will be good can check source code to make an idea about how the script works.

It should make a http request and check status code... hard guess what happens without php code.

Still need more info and need to see your script.

Sorta on topic. If you wanna see another script (which is always useful to get ideas and see how other people did it) check out http://isitup.org/ it's based on downforeveryoneorjustme.com but the guy is giving away the source code for free. You should check it out.

the code is simple as i said

what dns does your server use. most dns severs return result page if the site isn't found.

Ya there are many other ready scripts out there, i just want to do something different ... and much simpler

Turn on error reporting. You have it turned off error_reporting(0).
Make it error_reporting(E_ALL);
If it's not a valid domain then it returns an E_WARNING.

At the moment if I enter something stupid like cornflakes it tells me it's online as your not allowing it to check if it's a valid domain first.

thanks for helping mr happy, but i think the problem is with my hosting ...
because the script works well on my localhost with easyphp
