Checking if Website Dead/Alive

[BulldogGC]

Hey guys,

This should be simple but I'm obviously missing something ...

Take a website say ...

http://username:[e-mail]

And if the site lets you in it says "alive".
If not "dead".

So something like

while(loop over mysql) {
 if($site = fopen("http://username:[e-mail]","r")) {
 $link = "alive";
}
else {
 $link = "dead";
}

}
