[solved] is it possible to...

[kbohme]

I am wondering,

I know that I can check to see if there is any information in the table and change my php output based on the findings...

What I am wondering is there any way to check a link in php and use that information to effect the output ?

For example...

Lets say that there is a chart avaliable at http://www.chartplace.com/ICAO.html for aiport ICAO but NOT one for ICAO2 at http://www.chartplace/ICAO2.html

Is there a way to check that first and only put a link up if it is avaliable ?

so the page might say

ICAO - link here

ICAO2 - sorry not avaliable

I have been doing some learning but can only find the if statement for information stored in the sql database,

if its not even possible I will stop looking

should I stop looking ?

sorry found it...its fopen....or at least that sounds promising
