Help and I'll send $$ your way...

Hello,

I'm making a URL shorterner and if someone can make a function
that can validate a URL and if its missing something it will add it.

If you can make what I need then I will send $5, to your PayPal.

Thanks

 

I don't want the money but:

www.google.com/search?q=php+url+validation

 

I'm only offering money because I want some fancy code if a url is missing something (eg: 'http://', '/', ect...)the code will add it.

 

Can you tell clearly requirement more than?

 

If you haven't found someone, contact me with all details and i'll see what i can do for you!

 

you can use this function to test if the link is ok

function link_is_live($url){
	$h = get_headers($url);
	$ok=false;
    if(preg_match('~HTTP/1\.\d\s+200\s+OK~', $h[0])) $ok=true;
	return $ok;
} 

$url = 'http://wscripts.net/';
if(link_is_live($url)) echo 'yes'; else echo 'no'; //will return yes
$url = 'http://wscripts.net/asdasd';
if(link_is_live($url)) echo 'yes'; else echo 'no'; //will return no
