I have a database full of links. I need to write a script to go to each one and check the modification date of the file. My plan is, once that is logged, to do this every week and indicate which pages have "changed." What is the simplest approach to this? Do I need to use CURL functions or remotely open the page with fopen? A pointer to the right place in the manual would be great...
