Trying to file_get_contents an .flv file

I'm trying to see if a link is a .flv file or not. So I grab only the first part of the url because it always starts with "FLV". At least that's what I get when i "echo $content;".

Here is a piece of the code.

    $content=@ file_get_contents($url,FALSE,NULL,0,100);
    if (strpos($content,'FLV')===true && strpos($content,'FLV')==0) {
        echo 'FLV file exists.';
        continue;
    }

PHP:

However i'm not getting any results. Am I doing something wrong?

 

strpos() doesn't ever return boolean true. It's returns boolean false if the string was not found, and the position as integer if found.

Try:

if (strpos($content,'FLV') === 0)
{
    echo 'FLV file exists.';
}

Yessss that's it. thanks!
