The "<?php echo root ?>" will return the root of the mythweb site (e.g.
http://backend/mythweb/).  It's then appending "remote/" to this URL.
The request parameters are then "ping=frontend", so the complete URL
will be something like:
    http://backend/mythweb/remote/?ping=frontend

On my combined frontend/backend, calling this will give the current
status (e.g. Playback Video ......), whereas using an invalid frontend
hostname will give a "0".  The frontend name used here is (I think)
whatever's shown in the Frontends list on the remote screen.

HTH,
    Robin
