I have been searching the archives for the past 2 hours without luck, I am looking for an older thread which was discussed on how to connect to a remote page and check if that page was linking back to blah.com, I think it was done via fopen. If you can tell me either, 1. the name of that thread or its url 2. how to do the above check I would really appreciate it.
$page = file_get_contents('http://example.org/page.html'); Now use the string functions to search $page for a "href" back to your site. Not foolproof, but then nothing is. ---John Holmes...
