link checker, and speed tester

[jjmusicpro]

just curious, i have a list of urls, around 200 ie:

 

someplace.com/index.html

overthere.checkmeout.com

joesplace.overhere.com

 

I wanted to be able to run a query on these urls, and check if the pages is loading/working, if not kick back the error code, IE 404 eorre etc.

also a way to check the load time..

 

is his possible with php?

yes. i'd use curl, but there are simpler ways depending on how much http status code and other info you need.

something like this is what im looking for: http://www.selfseo.com/website_speed_test.php

 

i wont need many error codes, maybe like 5 of the top ones...

 

i am more curious about a page either not being there, or not loading.

 

really to, the speed in which it opens is vital to me.

 

any ideas?

tracking time is simple, set $start_time = microtime(); before you do something, do something, then compare the new microtime() with $start_time;

 

you can get a page simply enough with fopen:

 

$fd = fopen ($url, "rb");
while (!feof ($fd))
    $buffer .= fgets($fd, 4096);
fclose ($fd);

 

but if you need http headers to get result codes, you'll probably need to look into the curl functions. but first make sure curl is installed and enabled via phpinfo();
