I am having problems find a good PHP script that checks to see if a URL exists. Any help would be mush appreciated.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4...for-404-in-php

To use that example on the site you want to make sure your web host supports the function.

Save this into a php file.

<?php
If(function_exists("fsockopen")){
echo 'Function Exists';
}
Else{
echo 'function does not exist';
}
?>

Hope it helps

I am using php to check if a URL is available using th if file exists function.

Help with Code Tags PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
if(file_exists("http://www.domain.jsp")){$lines = file('http://www.domain.jsp');}else{$lines= echo $variable}<strong class="highlight">if</strong>(file_exists("http://www.domain.jsp"))
{
$lines = file('http://www.domain.jsp');
}else{
$lines= echo $variable
}
But it keeps giving me errors...is there an alternative to if file exists?
Thanks

And copying and pasting a post from another forum helps because????????
