[Pin to top] several methods for PHP to determine whether remote URLs are valid

Prerequisites

Determine whether the remote URL is valid. The remote URL includes remote images, webpages, videos, and other elements.

Solution: Use PHP

1. Use the file_get_contents function. However, if the URL cannot be accessed, the program will be terminated.
2. Use curl to return the result and determine whether the execution is correct.
3. Use the get_headers function to check whether 200 exists based on the HTTP return value.

Solve with JS:

1. The native JS function activexobject is used and only supports ie kernel browsers.
2. Use JQ Extension

This article mainly introduces the third method of PHP solution. This method is rarely used, but it feels good again,

Get_headers must be supported

1. Php_openssl supports viewing phpinfo to see if it is enabled
2. Allow_url_fopen = on modify PHP. ini and run it remotely.

Function introduction:

ArrayGet_headers(String$ URL[, Int$ Format])

Get_headers ()Returns an array containing the header sent by the server to respond to an HTTP request. If it fails, returnFalseAnd issueE_warningLevel error message.

If the optionalFormatIf the parameter is set to 1Get_headers ()The corresponding information is parsed and the key name of the array is set. For example:

Simple Example:

<? PHP
$ Url = "http://cn.php.net/images/php.gif ";
$ Array = get_headers ($ URL, 1 );
If (preg_match ('/ 200/', $ array [0]) {
Echo "<PRE/> ";
Print_r ($ array );
} Else {
Echo "invalid URL resource! ";
}

 

Explanation: Determine whether the remote image ur is valid. Determine whether the URL resource is valid based on whether 200 information exists in the returned value HTTP.

Test results:

The returned result is --------------------- test OK.

 

Advantages and disadvantages:

Enable allow_url_fopen = on. It is a bit similar to the conditions used by the file_get_contents function, but the return value is relatively small. You can use

Function_exists determines whether this method can be used
