Finding dead links

[fire_cracker]

Okay, this should be pretty simple, but I can't find any documentation on it. I want to go through my database, which contains various information, including a web address.

I want to check and see if the web address still exists or if it gives me an error 404.

is there an easy line of code to check that out?

Thanks for any help.

Yes, look under [man]fsockopen[/man]. Use HEAD instead of GET so's you don't waste time retrieving pages that aren't dead.
