Hi,

No probs. I got the solution for this.

that is,

<?php
$TheImage = "http://www.uk-present.co.uk/images/logo.gif";
if (@fclose(@fopen("$TheImage", "r"))) {
$TheImage = "$TheImage";
}
else {
$TheImage = "http://www.uk-present.co.uk/images/120x60-noimage.gif";
}
?>

The first if loop tells you that the image exist, else it does not
exist



However it works only when the server gives you 404 error
