link testing

[halfblind]

does anybody know of any scripts that will allow me to check to see if specific sites are up. If they are follow that link , if not go to another link.

<?
$goodLink = "www.ski-info-online.com";
$badLink = "www.aszxcx.com";


if (fsockopen($badLink, 80, $errno, $errstr, 10)) {
print "Good Link";
} else {
print "No response from host<br />$errno<br />$errstr";
}
?>
