What do you mean by 'Not always right' ?
If it wouldn't be right your server would be crashing every 0.0000001
seconds ... anyway ...
If this is locally, and all you need to know is if there a page called
foo.html on the same server from where you are trying to check you can then
use file_exists()
if(file_exists($DOCUMENT_ROOT.$file))
echo 'Sure, it is there ...';
otherwise (if it is a remote server) try fopen() or fsockopen() ...
ie
$url = "www.altavista.com";
$port = "80";
$timeout_in = "30"; #seconds
$fp = fsockopen ($url, $port, $timeout_in);
if($fp)
echo "Site Accessed!";
yeah .. look here: www.php.net/fsocopen they have an example of use which
you could modify to make it a link checker.
