Thanks, that's the sort of "quick solution" I was looking for
(although I managed to find it myself after a bit of digging:
$arr = get_headers("http://www.google.com");
is even more concise)
Thanks to the previous responses as well, including the one that

ability to search through web pages! (Google, I think it's called... )
Cheers
