PHP判断是否连接上网络

<?php
$url = "http://www.xxxx.com"; 
if(varify_url($url)){ 
echo "<div>Congratulation ! Your URL <a href=$url>$url</a> : is <b>valid </b></div>"; 
}else{ 
echo "<div>Error ! 你提供的URL : <a href=$url>$url</a> is <b>invalid </b></div>"; 
}

//检测网络是否连接
function varify_url($url){ 
$check = @fopen($url,"r"); 
if($check){ 
$status = true; 
}else{ 
$status = false; 
} 
return $status; 
}

}
