note 92171 added to function.file-exists

Hi. I've spent an hour testing, it seems to be the stabe and fastest version function url_exists($url) { if(!preg_match('/(((http(s?))|(ftp))\:\/\/)/i', $url)) $url = 'http://'.$url; $header = @get_headers($url); return preg_match('/^HTTP(.*)(200|301|302|307)(.*)$/i', $header[0]); } PS: see handled 404 requests: http://www.test.de/test.htm ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 77.123.176.109 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/92171 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92171/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92171/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92171/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92171/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92171/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92171/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92171 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/92171 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
