fseek question

[fluxdemon]

Does fseek check to see if the site is there or do I have to point it to a file?

<?php

primaryURL=&quot;

http://www.google.com&quot;

if (fseek(primaryURL, r) include_once(primaryURL.txt)
else include_once(backupURL.txt)

?>

Hi,

> Does fseek check to see if the site is there or do I have to point it to a file?
I'm not quite sure what you mean. Do you want to check the existence of a site, before opening? What I do know is that FSEEK doesn't does this job.

QUOTE FSEEK DOCUMENTATION (php.net)
--------------------------
int fseek ( resource handle, int offset [, int whence])

Sets the file position indicator for the file referenced by handle.The new position, measured in bytes from the beginning of the file, is obtained by adding offset to the position specified by whence, whose values are defined as follows:

SEEK_SET - Set position equal to offset bytes.
SEEK_CUR - Set position to current location plus offset.
SEEK_END - Set position to end-of-file plus offset. (To move to a position before the end-of-file, you need to pass a negative value in offset.)


If whence is not specified, it is assumed to be SEEK_SET.

I think you should use FOPEN instead. You can read all about it at php.net (including examples)

here an example;

$fp = @fopen(&quot;

http://www.google.com/index.html&quot;,&quot;r&quot;);

if ($fp)
{ print&quot;The site exists!&quot;; }
else
{ print&quot;The site does not exist&quot;; }
