although it's a bit klunky (and not entirely correct) to do
things this way, but a simple fopen(); will tell you if
the URL is retrievable or not.
(although i dont think that fopen() handles redirects or any
of those esoteric HTTP features)
but if you want to make sure that a link is there, with
no SSL, redirects, or any other stuff, fopen() should
be more than sufficient.

Subject: [PHP] Link Checker
Is there any function that will allow me to check to see if a link is valid?
