try these:

1. get rid of the @ symbol.
2. put the function call after the function declaration.

Plus you don't want "function" infront of the call?



<?php
function is_connected()
{

$connected = fsockopen("www.google.com");
if ($connected){
$is_conn = true;
fclose($connected);
}else{
$is_conn = false;
}
return $is_conn;

}
$foo = is_connected();
?>
