Re: Scrubbing URL's

Hi, You can also do this using the following code: $fh = @fopen($url, "r"); if ($fh) {

    fclose($fh);

} else {

    echo "URL ($url) doesn't exists";

} This does work for the HTTP code 200 and 400. I am not sure how it handles the redirects Code 302. Regards, Amit Arora www.digitalamit.com Paul Nowosielski wrote:

Dear All, I have 150,000 + URLS I need to validate. When I say validate, I mean I would like to verify the URL opens up a web page that returns a '200' and not a '404'. I was thinking of first verifying the host has a DNS A record by using checkdnsrr(). Then using CURL to check server response. Does any one know of a function or class that already does this? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. TIA!
