If PHP can access the command line via exec (or similar) - not safe mode
etc, and curl is installed on your server you could use the following:

exec("curl -si <URL>",$DATA,$ERROR_NO);

First part is command line curl call... you may have to include the whole
path to curl, $DATA will contain all of the page in an array and if an error
happens $ERROR_NO will contain the curl error number.

Ps. Make sure you read the docs re exec and security etc.
