Check if a URL Exists

I can't find a working function which will allow me to check if a url exists?

Can anyone provide me with one? Or help me create one?

You could always just use simple code like:

PHP Code:


			
$content = fopen($url);

if ($content) {}

else {

  // URL Does not exist

}

Or you could make a connection to port 80 and see if the connection rejects or not.
