Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to connect to a URL using PHP for the purpose
of obtaining the HTTP response code? Specifically, I want to be able
to ascertain whether a link is down (404) or alive.
A bare-bones example would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks, that's the sort of "quick solution" I was looking for
(although I managed to find it myself after a bit of digging:
$arr = get_headers("ht tp://www.google.com" );
is even more concise)
Thanks to the previous responses as well, including the one that
suggested using a quaint little thing that seems to have the amazing
ability to search through web pages! (Google, I think it's called... )
Cheers

Is there some reason searching the manual index on 'http' did not turn up

Hello all!
I'm trying to parse broken HTML with several Python tools.
Unfortunately none of them work 100% reliable. Problems are

All of these pages can be displayed properly in a browser
so why not reuse the parser in e.g. Mozilla? Is there any

Is it difficult to write a program that, given an array of URLs, will probe
each one, and return a status of Found or Not Found? How would you approach
it?
While Googling, I found utility after utility that will do something like
that for you, but I would like to write a custom program to do this. It
doesn't have to be VB. C#, javascript, etc. - whatever will run on .NET.

Hello All,
A couple of weeks ago, I undertook to write a utility that would loop
through various URLs and test whether they were valid. I got some good help
from this list, and was able to write the utility.
Now, I have run into a problem that is difficult for me to solve. It is
this: When looping through a large set of URLs, if many of the URLS are
bad, the program will time out. Conversely, if most of the URLs are good,
it will...

Hi,
I have written this script to run as a cron that will loop through a
text file with a list of urls. It works fine for most of the links,
however there are a number of urls which are subdomains (they are
government sites) such as http://basename.airforce.mil, these links
are always throwing 400 errors even though the site exists.
Is there a way to get around this?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
