Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Ping request
------------

[](#ping-request)

Ping clients provide developper with a unified interface for querying server existence using ping cli, php socket api or the generic PHP fsocketopen utility function. When using OS Ping binary to perform query, you are required to sanitize the data send through the comminication channel as these clients are often insecure for sensitve data. Prefer use of the Ping client as it's often fast that the php implementations. Default: Binary

```
// Import required classes & functions
use Drewlabs\Net\Client;
use Drewlabs\Net\Method;

// Create a PING client
$client = new Drewlabs\Net\Pring(, [, ]);
// example
$client = new Drewlabs\Net\Pring('https://liksoft.tg');

// Send request using default Channel
$response = $client->request(); // Returns \Drewlabs\Net\PingResult class
// Send a Ping request using PHP fsockopen util
$response = $client->request(Method::FSOCKOPEN);

// Get response details
$response->latency(); // Returns the latency of the PING request
$response->ip(); // Returns the IP address of the client
```
