PHP

Below is an example of making a HTTP request to SITE_NAME from PHP.

file_get_contents('PING_URL');

If you would like to setup timeout and retry options, as discussed in the reliability tips section, there is a curl package available that lets you do that easily:

```php startinline=True use Curl\Curl;

$curl = new Curl(); $curl->setRetry(20); $curl->setTimeout(5); $curl->get('PING_URL'); ```

:::php use Curl\Curl; $curl = new Curl(); $curl->setRetry(20); $curl->setTimeout(5); $curl->get('PING_URL');

Note: this code never throws any exception.
