Hi David, Have a look at the fopen command: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php You can read the page by using fopen(url) into PHP and parse the html. -----Original Message----- From: David C.Z.

Does anyone know a PHP routine or method that can help? Also, I am looking for a way to test if a page is active. The ping returns the website is there (But also returns true on a 404 error), But I want to know if a page is "dead" (404 or other error) or active. Any help in pointing me in the right direction is welcome. Thanks, Dave PHP Data object relational mapping generator http://www.metastorage.net/ Yahoo!
