If your installation of PHP has URL wrappers enabled (it probably does); just use an fopen on the entire URL:

$url="http://www.example.com/foo/bar.html";

if ($f=fopen($url))
{
echo "OK!";

fclose($f);
}
else
{
echo "ERROR!";
}

Also, if you have the libcurl library installed, you have access to many url verification functions:
