Detect active websites

[Guber-X]

So what I am wanting to do is detecting for Active websites that I have made for my portfolio website. basically something like check for URL address and if it does not return the same address it will be marked as Not Active, if it does return with the same address it will be marked as Active... anyone understand my idea?

 

I just need some help pointed in the right direction for coding this out.

if you have any questions just ask please.

-Thnx

something like this  is what i think you are looking for

 

 

    $url = 'http://www.example.com';
    $handle = @fopen($url,'r');
    if($handle !== false){
    echo 'Exists';
    }
    else{
    echo "Doesn't";
    }
