Hi !

I am a beginner in PHP. Does anybody know how to check if an URL is
alive or dead in PHP (not exist or server down...or whatever ) ?

Any help would be appreciated !

Thanks !

I know two codes:
-first is simple
<?
function checkurl($url)
{
$phpnet = fsockopen($url, 80, &$errno, &$errstr, 30);
if(!$phpnet) {
echo "<b>php.net <font color=\"red\">Dead link!</font></b>\n"; }
else {
echo("<a href=\"http://".$url."\">".$url."</a>");
}
}
?>

-second more complex
<?
$text['N/A'] = "URL is not HTTP";
$text[OK] = "OK";
$text[FAIL] = "FAIL";
$text[DNS] = "Server not resolve";
$text[100] = "Continue";
$text[101] = "Switching Protocols";
$text[200] = "OK";
$text[201] = "Created";
$text[202] = "Accepted";
$text[203] = "Non-Authoritative Information";
$text[204] = "No Content";
$text[205] = "Reset Content";
$text[206] = "Partial Content";
$text[300] = "Multiple Choices";
$text[301] = "Moved Permanently";
$text[302] = "Found";
$text[303] = "See Other";

$text[305] = "Use Proxy";
$text[307] = "Temporary Redirect";
$text[400] = "Bad Request";
$text[401] = "Unauthorized";
$text[402] = "Payment Required";
$text[403] = "Forbidden";
$text[404] = "Not Found";
$text[405] = "Method Not Allowed";
$text[406] = "Not Acceptable";
$text[407] = "Proxy Authentication Required";
$text[408] = "Request Timeout";
$text[409] = "Conflict";
$text[410] = "Gone";
$text[411] = "Length Required";
$text[412] = "Precondition Failed";
$text[413] = "Request Entity Too Large";
$text[414] = "Request-URI Too Long";
$text[415] = "Unsupported Media Type";
$text[416] = "Requested Range Not Satisfiable";
$text[417] = "Expectation Failed";

$text[502] = "Bad Gateway";
$text[503] = "Service Unavailable";
$text[504] = "Gateway Timeout";
$text[505] = "HTTP Version Not Supported";

function check($url) {
if (eregi( "^<a href="ftp://" target="_blank">ftp://</a>", $url)) {
$urlArray = parse_url($url);
$host = $urlArray[host]; $user = $urlArray[user]; $pass =

return $return;
}
$res = check (stripslashes($url));
echo "Checking - ".stripslashes($url)." :: Status - ".$text[$res[code]];
?>
