no, sockets are not a bad solution at all. They are just as fast.
And plus fsockopen has more functionality such as timing out, result
messages, mess_num etc... what fopen doesn't have.
I think fsockopen is better for this job.

Subject: [PHP] check if an url is valid
Hi!
can you tell me how can I check if a remote files exists?
I've tried with fopen, but I've a warning on STDOUT if file doesn't exists.
I wouldn't redirect the STDERR to solve this problem.
I could use fsockopen, but I feel that this is a bad solution.
Can you tell me something that is easy?
I would a function that return true/false if an url is/not is valid; without
error to browser
Thanks
