 //==============================================================================
 // A quick and dirty PHP function to update Weblogs.com
 // ----------------------------------------------------
 // Last Updated: 24 October 2001
 // Author: Matt Bean
 // Email : bean@yaysoft.com
 //
 // Description:
 // This file contains a single function: pingWeblogs() which has two optional
 // arguments - the name of the weblog, and the URL for the weblog, respectively.
 // Should these arguments be omitted, the values contained in the variables
 // $default_name and $default_url will be used as the values for the weblog name
 // and the weblog URL, respectively. The function returns the text message that
 // weblogs.com sends back. You will note that I do not use any fancy libraries,
 // just simple port communications and string truncation, but it works (at least
 // until weblogs.com feels like changing formats again).
 //
 // Use:
 // You may copy this code and place it in a PHP script of your choice, the only
 // values you should need to change are the $default_name and $default_url
 // variables.
 // Here is a quick example:
 //    $result = pingWeblogs("Blog Name", "http://blogurl.com/");
 //    echo "<b>Weblogs.com says</b>: $result";
 //
 // DISCLAIMER:
 // There are NO WARRANTIES, expressed or implied, regarding the use of this
 // code. Matt Bean cannot be held responsible for anything you do with this
 // code and any problems it may cause you or anyone else, either directly or
 // indirectly. Having said that, it's just a stupid little function, and it
 // really shouldn't be able to cause any harm, but I have to cover my bases.
 //
 // Peace, love, and good Karma!
