Server status page reads down at all times

I have had the site read up every once in a while, but the mechanism it uses will probably need some tweaking do to the change in the server.

On the other hand, the page source will always reflect what is displayed. So if it did display "UP" the source will replace the appropriate index.png with the up.png. PHP allows the web server to dynamically generate a static page. So you wont see the effects of a change until the page is refreshed and the cache clears.

Ah, I see. Makes sense I suppose. I haven't coded in 20+ years so I was looking at the code through the eyes of a Fortran/Pascal coder, and seeing no decision subroutines. I figured the server status code was elsewhere, but wasn't thinking that the page code might be generated on the fly.

Learned something interesting today, thanks
