I want to ping a website using curl extention?

Eg. a website: http://www.funnybunnyvideos.in

I want to ping to this site using curl extension, and store result output data in db with timeout 5sec.

How can i do this thing??? Is it possible???

i also tried curl example as:

$data = Yii::app()->CURL->run(‘http://www.funnybunnyvideos.in/’,FALSE,

		array(


		'option'=>'com_content','view'=>'article','id'=>58,'Itemid'=>2


		)


	);


	print_r($data);

but its import the site data on current page, am only want ping to site and get ping result with 5sec timeout.

Thanks!!!
