$strFlag = " DOWN";
$intFlag = 0;

// checking the btnSubmit is set value or not
if(isset($_GET["btnSubmit"])) {

	// assigning url for q variable
	$q = $_GET["q"];

	// checking the url in curl 
	$ch = curl_init ($q);
	curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
	curl_exec ($ch);

	// getting url header response details
	$httpResponse = curl_getinfo($ch);

	// setting status code into array element
	$arrStatus = array(200,302);

	// validating url
	if(filter_var($q, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)) {

	// comparing the http_code with array element with download content length 
		if(in_array($httpResponse["http_code"],$arrStatus) && $httpResponse["download_content_length"]>0) {
			$strFlag = " UP";
			$intFlag = 1;
