Get File (if, else)

[guest]

can someone help me make a script that will get lets say a text file or an image from another server and if it exists it will display test saying "Server is up" and if its down itll say "Server is down"

$lines = @file('http://www.site.com/index.htm');
if (!$lines) { echo "No Page Found"; }
else {
    // do something
}

If you want to actually retrieve the file, use Frederick's way. If you just want to check the server, you can use either his or this one:

$fp = fsockopen('example.com', 80, $errno, $errstr, 20);
if ($fp) {
    echo 'Server is up.';
} else {
    echo 'Server is down';
}

Edit: forgot to close the connection:

fclose($fp);

should go right after 'Server is up'.
