> your logic is backwards on your example did u just read his code ? > $return = strpos($arr_headers[0], "404") !== false; returns true when 404 is found on the return file headers, a "404 not found" ... this is a common way to write a function, returning 0 when it's all right and an error code otherwise. i guess the function name is fuzzy : remote_file_exists (yes, no) won't be logical check_file_access (0, errno) will but the example was correct : > if (remote_file_exists ($url)) /* if 404 is found on the web server response header */ > { print ($url . " file doesn't exists!"); } /* this url cannot be retrieved */ i hope i'll be understandable, im just a poor froggy :) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+40737 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+40737&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+40737&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
