You could use fsockopen [php.net] and then read the header that is returned.

On the same server or even the same network would be one thing, but I'm assuming you mean on another HTTP server altogether, correct? You aren't going to be able to if that is the case. Unless you have a script running on the other server that would check that information for you ... but that would be a big security issue.

fsockopen would not always work. You are not going to be able to tell if the actual resource was a file or folder (Content Negotation may be used).
