So this script was found is from 2006 so it rather old and I wanted to know if some could combine this in a working fashion to work on a single page.
I have modified it for mysql instead of a flat file. I set this up so it works like this;

On some php encoded page, you have a link to view your link partners record. You need to have an existing mysql table. To make the link, do something like this
require "../dbconnect.php";//db connection script or your standard db connection commands
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo "<a href="siteview.php?link='.$row['table id'].'">View link</a>";
PHP:
The page "siteview.php" will need to have 2 things going on right off the bat. 1 is to establish a connection to your db in this manner
require "../dbconnect.php";//db connection script or your standard db connection commands
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = '$link'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
PHP:
Ok, the 2nd thing youre going to want to do is set up a hidden field somewhere on the page. Some people say its not necessary, but I just do it so if I need to troubleshoot, I can just echo it somewhere on my page and I can verify that the correct record id is being displayed thus telling me that the variable passed correctly. So throw this somewhere on your page;
<input type=hidden name="con_id" value="<?php echo $link; ?>">
PHP:
Now within your table, have a field dedicated to storing the specific URL where the linking partners page and where your link can be found. For the sake of argument, we'll call this field linkback. Now onto the actual script;
$siteurl = $row['linkback']; // this is the webpage the link should be found on
$recip = "http://www.whatever.com"; // Your URL
if (backlinkCheck($siteurl, $recip)) {
 echo "Backlink is ACTIVE";
} else {
 echo "Backlink is INACTIVE";
}

function backlinkCheck($siteurl, $recip) {
$arrText = file($siteurl);
for ($i=0; $i<count($arrText); $i++) {
 $text = $text . $arrText[$i];
 }
if (eregi($recip, $text)) {
 return true; // set true if there is a backlink
} else {
 return false; // set false if backlink is missing
 }
}
PHP:

My table is

the field is
