FOpen() and HTML headers

[Anon]

Does anyone know a way I can get the HTTP headers returned by the web server when I do an fopen() of a remote file?

for eample, I have $fd=fopen("http://www.yahoo.com"), and I can to check the mime type of the returned page - basically to throw away the page if it's not plain old HTML, or text.

Any help welcome, I haven't found anything in the manual for this.

test it first with

$fp = fsockopen("www.php.net", 80, &$errno, &$errstr, 30);
if(!$fp) {
echo "$errstr ($errno)<br>\n";
} else {
fputs($fp,"GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n");
while(!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets($fp,128);
}
fclose($fp);
}

and

while ($buffer = fgets($fp, 4096)) {
echo $buffer;
}
fclose($fp);
