Hi You need to check for the 404 Not Found message as there is returned an array in any case.

function url_exists($url){
if ((strpos($url, "http")) === false) $url = "http://" . $url;
$headers = @get_headers($url);
//print_r($headers);
if (is_array($headers)){
    //Check for http error here....should add checks for other errors too...
    if(strpos($headers[0], '404 Not Found'))
        return false;
    else
        return true;    
}         
else
    return false;
}
