Re: Help !!

<? $url = "http://www.freshmeat.net/"; if ( @fopen($url, 'r') ) echo "Ya we're ok eh<br>\n"; ?> Now I wont vouch 100% for this function , it wont work with header redirects, its also wont tell you if the accuall page exists, if the page doesn't exist then fopen will open the 404.html file, see. I also found on older versions of PHP <3 that it didn't allways work on HTTP/1.1 servers. more info at http://php.net/manual/function.fopen.php Chris Lee Mediawaveonline.com In article <009401c0607c$b9ab5b00$374dfea9@oemcomputer>, "emf" <contact@frouni.com> wrote: > Hi > > Can anyone tell me how to check if a domain is valid and accessible > (active) via the web !
