다음은 url이 실제로 존재하고 읽을 수 있는지 테스트하는 매우 간단한 방법입니다.

if (preg_match("#^http?://.+#", $link) and @fopen($link,"r")) echo "OK";

( preg_match 가 없으면 서버의 모든 파일 이름의 유효성을 검사합니다) 

$pattern = "/\b(?:(?:http?|ftp):\/\/|www\.)[-a-z0-9+&@#\/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-a-z0-9+&@#\/%=~_|]/i";

​

function isURL($url = NULL) {

    if($url==NULL) return false;

    $protocol = '(http://|http://)';
    $allowed = '([a-z0-9]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9]+)?)';

    $regex = "^". $protocol . // must include the protocol
             '(' . $allowed . '{1,63}\.)+'. // 1 or several sub domains with a max of 63 chars
             '[a-z]' . '{2,6}'; // followed by a TLD
    if(eregi($regex, $url)==true) return true;
    else return false;
