Test site connection
I E's, I use this line of code for test the connection of a website:
<? $url_actual = "www.example.com";
$fp = fsockopen("$url_actual", 80, $errno, $errstr, 1); ?>
fsockopen returns if have connection or not.
Perhaps, if I use a address like www.example.com/index/site.php, the system return a error:
"
Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in /home/tags/public_html/tes
Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to www.example.com/index/site.php:80 (php_network_getaddresses:
//LINE3: $fp = fsockopen("$url_actual", 80, $errno, $errstr, 1);
fsockopen just read a pure domains or subdomains, they don't check url with domains+folder+file?
If fsockopen don´t work for check url's, what is the alternative for check if the url exists and have connection?

the function of fsockopen is create the connection between PHP and server, so you only can be use IP,domain or sub-domain
if you need detect remote file, please use file_get_contents() or Curl
if you need detect remote file, please use file_get_contents() or Curl
$return = @file_get_contents("http://google.com/");
var_dump($return);
file_get_contents() can be used, but it reads the entire resouce, and it has a very long timeout by default. fsockopen() can easily be called with a short timeout, and by sending a HEAD request you don't need to read the entire page.
You can set a short timeout with file_get_contents() too, by using a stream context:
$ctx = stream_context_create(arra
$page = file_get_contents($URL, 0, $ctx);

Attached a code snippet, give it ago.
<?
function CheckWebsite($website_to_check) {
if (@fopen($website_to_check, "r")) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
?>
Hi @cxr, in your code how I can see the result, connect or not connect, what your code return:
I do this:
==========================
$url = "www.adwordsapi.blogspot.com";
$ctx = stream_context_create(arra
$page = file_get_contents($URL, 0, $ctx);
echo $ctx;
==========================
The result in the browser is: "Resource id #1"
After your code I need do something like:
if (connect) { do something } else if (not connected) { do other thing }
With your code how I work with conditional "IF"?

That code is not the best approach, I just wanted to show how you can set a short timeout for file_get_contents(). The $page variable contains the page, or false if the page was not found.
if($page===false) echo 'page is down';
else echo 'page is up';
Note that there is a difference between $url and $URL, variable names are case sensitive.
You must use @ to prevent error when the file is not found: @file_get_contents($url, 0, $ctx);
"www.adwordsapi.blogspot.com" is a host name, not an url. You must prepend it with "http://".
if($page===false) echo 'page is down';
else echo 'page is up';
