I am trying to check if a website is up (reachable) and I have used the standard code below: [...]

      $socket = @fsockopen( $host, $port, $errno, $errstr, 30 );
       if (!$socket)
          fwrite ($socket, "HEAD ".$documentpath." HTTP/1.0\r\nHost:

$host\r\n\r\n");

           $http_response = fgets( $socket, 22 );

           if ( ereg("200 OK", $http_response, $regs ) )

Maybe you can find something in the curl functions? http://nl3.php.net/manual/nl/ref.curl.php
