RE: [PHP] How check if URL is running ok before try open it?

<snip>Hello, I decided to make a pre-URL caller into my script, so when user try link to another URL, instead show these annoying http errors (when URL off), I could direct him to more user friendly environment. I checked FOPEN($url-name,'R') command, but in some cases it will pop up fire-walls alerts for users who uses firewalls, when FOPEN is executed. I would like to try more silent tricks for this task, and appreciate any help.</snip> Create custom error handling pages which you would specify in your apache configuration. In your conf file you would need to add something like: ErrorDocument 403 /path/to/403.php ErrorDocument 404 /path/to/404.php wherever you define the configuration directives for the site in question. Hope that helps. Cheers, Pablo
