Check if a URL exists.
Howdy.
This simple function will check if a url is valid (going by parse_url()) and if it's 'online' - by seeing if it returns a 302, 301, or 200 status code.
EDIT: 3/4/2008, updated to more efficient.
PHP Code:
<?php
function is_valid_url ( $url )
$url = @ parse_url ( $url );
$url )
false ;
$url = array_map ( 'trim' , $url );
$url [ 'port' ] = (!isset( $url [ 'port' ])) ? 80 : (int) $url [ 'port' ];
$path = (isset( $url [ 'path' ])) ? $url [ 'path' ] : '/' ;
$path .= (isset( $url [ 'query' ])) ? "?$url[query]" : '' ;
$url [ 'host' ]) AND $url [ 'host' ] != gethostbyname ( $url [ 'host' ]))
PHP_VERSION >= 5 )
$headers = implode ( '' , get_headers ( "$url[scheme]://$url[host]:$url[port]$path" ));
$fp = fsockopen ( $url [ 'host' ], $url [ 'port' ], $errno , $errstr , 30 );
$fp )
false ;
fputs ( $fp , "HEAD $path HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: $url[host]\r\n\r\n" );
$headers = fread ( $fp , 4096 );
fclose ( $fp );
preg_match ( '#^HTTP/.*\s+[(200|301|302)]+\s#i' , $headers );
false ;
?>

I needed this a little while ago, and here is what I have:
PHP Code:
function url_exists ( $url ) {
$headers = get_headers ( $url );
preg_match ( '/^HTTP\/\d\.\d\s+(200|301|302)/' , $headers [ 0 ]);
then use:
if ($headers[0] == 1) {
code
}

First, you need a webhost which supports PHP or to install it on your own PC. But on your own PC you need to also install a webserver and it's a real hassle so it's easier to have a webhost with this.
Then, input this script in to a file called file.php (or whatever_you_want.php) and save and close the file.
Now in SecondVersion's script he created the function called $is_valid_url($url); so what you'll want to do to see if a URL exists: (within the same file that the function is in [or if it's included for that matter])
PHP Code:
<?php
// Test script. Function created by SecondVersion
function is_valid_url ( $url )
$url = @ parse_url ( $url );
$url )
false ;
$url = array_map ( 'trim' , $url );
$url [ 'port' ] = (!isset( $url [ 'port' ])) ? 80 : (int) $url [ 'port' ];
$path = (isset( $url [ 'path' ])) ? $url [ 'path' ] : '/' ;
$path .= (isset( $url [ 'query' ])) ? "?$url[query]" : '' ;
$url [ 'host' ]) AND $url [ 'host' ] != gethostbyname ( $url [ 'host' ]))
PHP_VERSION >= 5 )
$headers = implode ( '' , get_headers ( "$url[scheme]://$url[host]:$url[port]$path" ));
$fp = fsockopen ( $url [ 'host' ], $url [ 'port' ], $errno , $errstr , 30 );
$fp )
false ;
fputs ( $fp , "HEAD $path HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: $url[host]\r\n\r\n" );
$headers = fread ( $fp , 4096 );
fclose ( $fp );
preg_match ( '#^HTTP/.*\s+[(200|301|302)]+\s#i' , $headers );
false ;
is_valid_url ( "http://namepros.com" ))
"w00t for Namepros.com! It's alive!" );
"Oh no! Where did NamePros go!?! :(" );
