Actually, I only get warnings, not errors, but here's what they say:

Warning: fsockopen(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in /var/www/html/je/jefflynnesongs.com/jlvids/jlvids.php on line 98

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to www.youtube.com/v/JqO8ZevPJNk:80 in /var/www/html/je/jefflynnesongs.com/jlvids/jlvids.php on line 98

Hmmm... I just did some experimenting and it looks promising.
Here's the code that appears to work:

$ch = curl_init("http://www.youtube.com/v/JqO8ZevPJNk";);
if (curl_exec($ch))
  //Do stuff for a valid URL
else
  //Do stuff for an invalid URL

Many thanks!  I'm loving PHP, but I've got a lot to learn.
