PHP + CURL http response headers - php

Question

I am currently attempting to configure a CURL & PHP function found online that when called checks if the HTTP response headers is in the 200-300 range to determine if the web page is up. This is successful once ran against an individual website with the code below (not the function itself but the if statements etc) The function returns true or false depending on the range of the HTTP Response header:
$page = "www.google.com";
$page = gzdecode($page);
if (Visit($page))
{
echo $page;
echo " Is OK <br>";
}
else
{
echo $page;
echo " Is DOWN <br>";
}
However when running against an array of URL's stored within the script through the use of a for each loop it reports every webpage within the list as down despite that the code is the same bar the added for loop of course.
Does anyone know what the issue may be surrounding this?
Edit - adding Visit function
My bad sorry, not fully thinking.
The visit function is the following:
function Visit($url){
$agent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)";$ch=curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch,CURLOPT_VERBOSE,false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_SSLVERSION,3);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);
$page=curl_exec($ch);
//echo curl_error($ch);
$httpcode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
curl_close($ch);
if($httpcode>=200 && $httpcode<310) return true;
else return false;
}
The foreach loop as mentioned looks like this:
foreach($Urls as $URL)
{
$page = $URL;
$page = gzdecode($page);
if (Visit($page))
The if loop for the visit part is the same as before.

Answer 1

$page = $URL;
$page = gzdecode($page);
Why are you trying to uncompress the non-compressed URL? Assuming you really meant to uncompress the content returned from the URL, why would the remote server server compress it when you you've told it that the client does not support compression? Why are you fetching the entire page to see the headers?
The code you've shown us here has never worked
