I was looking through Google analytics and noticed quite a few people searching for Asterisk PHP Peer Status, so I decided it might be something useful to provide to you :)
Basically what the script does is connect to Asterisk via the Manager, log in, check the status of a peer, and then runs some code based on the result.
The example makes a phone call to a number and plays the tt-monkeys file if there is a problem - you could run this from cron every minute and have it call you :)
It's pretty much just a basic example of using PHP with the Asterisk manager without using any external libraries - there are possibly better ways to do it, but I could only allocate 5 minutes of time to the task :)
