Guys, this isn't THAT stupid of a question is it? From my perspective,
the way PHP seems to see it is that I should already know what kind of
file I'm looking at. In most cases that's not an unreasonable

Yes, and in fact that is what I am doing now. This is a spider bot
though, so I'm having to think of every single type of binary file that
could be linked to on the web. So far I'm up to 28 with no end in sight.
What about a .com file? I can't omit links that end in .com can I? That
would be
Well you can do a check on the mime type of the file. eg.
$mimes = array(1 = application/octet-stream,
2: = image/jpeg,
etc.

Just like the upload file function you can check for the mime types...

Alternatively, count unigrams in the first 1000 characters and get the
euclidean distance to a sample from e.g. an english text, a french
text, a chinese text, etc.

I'm using file_get_contents() to open URLs. Does anyone know if there is
a way to look at the result and determine if the file is binary? I'd
