url checking

[bj_]

I wanted to do some url checking on URL's that my clients register on my site. I was woundering if there was a way to validate those url's to see that they actually exist. I also wanted to be able to check RSAC ratings of the site.

To see if the URL exists, use fopen() to connect to it, and then check the return value of fopen. If it's false, then it doesn't exist.
