checking to see if a file exists on another server

[dico]

Hi There,

I want to check to see if a certain file exists on another server. I know I can use file_exists to see if a file exists on the server I'm working on.... but I need to check to see if a file exists elsewhere... and if so, then display it.

Any way to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Ok... so now I have:

$fp = fsockopen ("www.mydomain.com/data/accommodations/3.jpg", 80,$errno, $errstr, 30);
if ($fp) {
echo "file is there\n";
} else {
echo "no file found\n";
}

However this doesn't appear to work as I know that the file is there but it always tells me that "no file found"...

Any advice?

Thanks,

Unfortunatly that makes no difference...

$fp = fsockopen ("http://www.slumberland.ca/data/accommodations/3.jpg", 80,$errno, $errstr, 30);
if ($fp) {
echo "file is there<br>\n";
} else {
echo "no file found\n";
}

if you take the "http://www.slumberland.ca/data/accommodations/3.jpg" and try it in your browser, it will load up an image....

but it will show up as "no file found" in the php code above...

why don't you try echoing out the errno and errstr?
