Dear All,
I want to write a simple PHP code to verify whether a given list of
URLs is broken or not. The URLs given have various formats, for example, http://www.afro.com/history/history.html http://www.worldhistorycompass.com/index.htm http://www.afup.org/article.php3?id_article=242
fsockopen(...) only accepts target format (like www.yahoo.com etc), so I
simply choose fopen (url,'r') to do the test.
This method seems working well for majority of URLs I have. However,
when the following site seems causing problem,
$site = fopen("http://www.marketingpower.com/live/topics12.php",'r');
my browser seems working very hard on this link and after a long time,
the browser stops (not continuing on the next command. I am using
netscape on linux).
Initially I thought probably fopen doesn't like http://xxxx/xxx.php type
of format, however, links like: http://www.afup.org/article.php3?id_article=242
works just fine.
So I am confused. Can anybody give me a hint on this?
Thanks. 5 2948

I've tried to use nc to open the site you mentioned. It seems it does a
whole lot of redirecting and setting cookies. Might be that's what's
giving the URL wrapper trouble opening the page properly.
If that's the case, you will have no other choice than to write your own
HTTP request handler, which handles redirects and cookies. Which isn't
too hard, but it's a lot of work :).

Thanks.
This link seems the only problematic one so far. I can just skip this one.
Notice fopen can't stop at this link, even I set max_execution_time in
php.ini, no idea.
I am using PHP 4.2.2

couldn't you just do something like this?:
$hostname = preg_replace('/http:\/\/([^\/]*).*/','$1',$url);
$conn_id = fsockopen('tcp://' . gethostbyname($hostname), 80,
$errno, $errstr);
fputs($conn_id,"GET $url HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: $hostname\r\n\r\n");
where $url is the url in question, and then where you do whatever you
would normally do?

1. If possible, use cURL functions instead. It is much handy
2. Check the user_agent setting of your ini file. Some sites may
lock weird/unknown user agents.

just use fopen
what you have to decide on are how many conditions do you have to deal with.
1) success!
2) a 404 response (file not found)
3) connection refused (port not listening)
4) timeout (server is down or not resolvable) This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
