validating url

Hi,

I am trying to check if a number or URLs are valid.

I have used the fopen( "URL" ) method which works ok on my development system but it fails after 5 URLS on my online system.

Is there another way to check if an URL is valid or is there reason for the checking to fail after 5 checks.

Thanks in advance

Justin

Do you remember to fclose() it? You may be running out of file handles.

Yes, I am calling fclose( $fp ) each time the file opens successfully.

Unfortunately, then, I'm out of ideas.
