Using php to detect and output if a specific program is running

Question

Basically I'd like to know of a very simple method for making a php script check if a specific program is running on my nix box.

Something like :

<?php

#some detection function here.

if($detectprogram == 1){ 
echo("It's running.");
}
else{
echo("It's not running.");
}
?>

Or even if I had to execute the program via a .sh (as I already do) and an -outputphp /path/to/htdocs/. Or similar. Thanks.

Maybe you need this?

exec("ps auxwww|grep sample.php|grep -v grep", $output);
