I am starting a link exchange script and I need some way to check a remote site to verify that there is a Iframe loading my page on the remote site.

Does any one know of a script or php function that would do this?

Using file_get_contents() on the remote page and regexp for an iframe src="your site"?

On the remote site I am currently loading a php page (but might have to convert it to html). I don't know that all the participants will have php so placing file_get_contents() on their page might not work.

regexp is a Javascript function right? I'm Javascript challenged :-)
When they register I have them give the page url where the directory is so I need a "something" to operate (probably in a cron) by going to that site to

1) see if that registered page is there
2) to see if my code is in the src code of that page or

Is there any way to see if a link is on a remote page? That would be sort of a "mini" spyder wouldn't it? Kind of like - send the spyder to the site to see if it comes back.

Ahh, the power of brainstorming! In the previous post where I was trying to better explain what I needed to do I answered my own question. I needed a spider. I did a Google search and guess what I found? A open source spider script! Not only will it spider an address to see if my script is there it can spider the whole site and have a search engine for the link exchange! Wow!!!

A link to the spider you found would be good.

It installed fine, seems to work fine. It does all I set out to do plus a bunch more.
