In response to seejohnrun's version to check if a URL exists. Even if the file doesn't exist you're still going to get 404 headers. You can still use get_headers if you don't have the option of using CURL.. $file = 'http://www.domain.com/somefile.jpg'; $file_headers = @get_headers($file); if($file_headers[0] == 'HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found') { $exists = false; } else { $exists = true; } ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 71.168.51.231 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/75064 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75064/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75064/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75064/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75064/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75064/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75064/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75064 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/75064 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
