47076 php ping script plugin

I have many wordpress blogs online that I post to continually. However I have no confidence in the wordpress update service which relies on pingomatic. I need a php plugin which will ping update services whenever I blog a new post. The script must be portable so I can upload it to my existing blogs. The script must have a log integrated that confirms a ping has been sent and received. I am wanting to work with a php developer who is experienced with what I require as I assume this is not a difficult script for someone familiar with the requirements.
