i found this on php.net, and it worked for a little while, and now it doesnt work. i changed some of it trying to fix it, but it always returns false. CODE function url_exists($url){       if(!strstr($url, "http://")) { $url = "http://".$url; };    $fp = @fsockopen($url, 80);    if($fp === false) { return 'false'; } else { return true; }; };

I'm not sure, but perhaps the last line of code with the "$fp === false" is the problem. Shouldn't that be "$fp == false"?

Right here goes. You are returning the text "false" and not just false, so that's problem one. Another problem I spotted was that you put a ";" after the "}", and you do not do that. So here is the code fixed:


And I believe it isn't to do with the ===, as that means if it returns something (I think).

Should still work the same way



'===' means exact equivalence instead of just equivalence. Example:

if(false==0)//returns true
if(false===0)//returns false
