I've tried for a while now to figure out how to test from within php if a url (http://xxx/file.html) is present and what error code is returned (200,201,202,404, etc...) the only way to test a url seems to be to open file('http://xxx/file.html') and see if it can be done. but that completely suppresses any error codes and especially redirects. Has anyone figured out how to pull out http error codes using php? greets./
