note 102050 deleted from function.get-headers by danbrown

Note Submitter: domwatson at live dot co dot uk ---- Was looking for something that checks a website to see if its OK but couldn't find a nice and cheap solution. Looking through what Weboide and Nick said, I've combined the two into a function. The function below will return a response code and allow you to follow redirections as well to handle those 301/302s function get_http_response_code($url, $followRedirects = true) { # Supress errors due to warnings on failure $headers = @get_headers($url); $responseCode = substr($headers[0], 9, 3); if ($followRedirects){ foreach($headers as $header){ if ($header === 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK'){ $responseCode = '200'; break 1; } } } return $responseCode; } # Follow redirection $code = get_http_response_code('http://www.konoro.co.uk/', true); // string '200' (length=3) var_dump($code); # Do not follow redirection, get first response code $code = get_http_response_code('http://www.konoro.co.uk/', false); // string '301' (length=3) var_dump($code); Cheers, Dom
