How do I use php backlink checker to assign variables?

Hi

I'm very new to php and have been learning purely by playing around with existing scripts. However I am not new to coding languages.

This is what I am trying to do.... I think you'll be able to see just from the code itself what it is I am trying to implement.

If there is a link back with the anchor text I want then the variable $partner is assigned to "them" otherwise it is assigned to "me".

$siteurl is defined elsewhere in the rest of the code and will be the website homepage i.e. http:// www. theirdomainname.co.uk

function check_back_link($remote_url, $your_link,$link_anchor) {
    $match_pattern = preg_quote(rtrim($your_link, "/"), "/");
	$anchor_pattern = preg_quote(rtrim($link_anchor, "/"), "/");
    $found = false;
    if ($handle = @fopen($remote_url, "r")) {
        while (!feof($handle)) {
            $part = fread($handle, 1024);
            if (preg_match("/<a(.*)href=[\"']".$match_pattern.
"(\/?)[\"'](.*)>".$anchor_pattern."<\/a>/", $part)) {
                $found = true;
                break;
            }
        }
        fclose($handle);
    }
    return $found;
}
$pages = array($siteurl."/index.php");

for($i=0;$i<sizeof($pages);$i++){
	if (!check_back_link($pages[$i], "http://www.mydomainname.co.uk/","Anchor Text"))
       {
	$partner="me";
	}
else
        {
	$partner = "them";
        }
}

PHP:

It should check that my link is in all of the pages of another website and check that the anchor link is at it should be. If it is the $partner should be assigned to "them", if there is a link breakage then $partner="me".

Please help.

Thanks
