Need to

[Anon]

I'm working on a project where I access a remote server with a session code and I'm looking to get an xml response if the URL I access is correct. I do this with the file($filename) command. This is working very well.

The thing is that I need to check for the http response codes from the remote server, because if the session id is invalid I don't get the xml response I am looking for and then I have to send them somewhere else. The same applies for other parts of the URL that I am accessing.

Anyone how this is done in PHP?

You can open remote locations using fopen("http://www.somewhere.something");

check the manual.

If you want more control over what you do with the request, use fsockopen()

Thanks, but I know how to open remote locations. What I need to know is how PHP deals with the http response codes and how I can "manipulate" them to route my users to the relevant link.

I read the entire contents of the file into a string, but there aren't any http codes contained in this either with file or fopen. Is it hidden somewhere or how can I find them.

From what I saw in the manual it didn't say anything about this.
