Url Check

[sehuj]

Hello,
I'm running site with links to other sites. Some links don't work but I don't know which. Do you know any script which is able to detect broken links?

Thank you

i dont think so.why dont you go through it manually?

[ducktape]

you could use php to try to check if a link is dead or not

[spec]

PHP can do it using sockets.

This may not be th best way, but it should work


<?
$fp = @fopen("http://www.yahoo.com/","r");
if ($fp)
{ print"The URL exist"; }
else
{ print"The URL does not exist"; }
?>

Yes it can. Have you got this code? Or can you write it?

[spec]

I can. depending on what you want and what motivates me.

<?
$site = "http://sitetocheck";
if(!(fsockopen($site, 80)))
{
die("Doesn't exist");
}
?>

So, I need easy script which only check if url exist. Not only host.

fsockopen function in PHP does what you need, look at my example. It should be sufficient.
