HTTP/1.0'."\r\n".'Host: '.$a_url['host']."\r\n\r\n"); $head = fread($fid, 4096); fclose($fid); return preg_match('#^HTTP/.*\s+[200|302]+\s#i', $head); } else { return false; } } in my CMS, I am using it with those lines: if(!isset($this->f_exist[$image]['exist'])) if(strtolower(substr($fimage,0,4)) == 'http' || strtolower(substr($fimage,0,4)) == 'www.'){ if(strtolower(substr($image,0,4)) == 'www.'){ $fimage = 'http://'.$fimage; $image = 'http://'.$image; } $this->f_exist[$image]['exist'] = $this->url_exists($fimage); //for now } else { $this->f_exist[$image]['exist'] = ($fimage!='' && file_exists($fimage) && is_file($fimage) && is_readable($fimage) && filesize($fimage)>0); } } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+59985 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59985&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59985&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59985&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59985&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59985&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59985&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59985&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+59985&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
