This script using PHP, and I have tested it. It worked like a charm. Of course, you need to modify further the way you want, for example, this function will be called when a button is clicked, and so on. But we are not here to discuss these details. This example as simple as possible in the hope that you can develop further according to individual needs.

<?php  
 
   function checkURL($url) {  
     $check = @fopen($url, "r"); 
     if($check)  
       $status = true;  
     else  
       $status = false;        
     return $status;  
   }  
 
   $url = "http://www.openscriptsolution.com";  // <-- change with other URL
   if(checkURL($url)) {  
     echo "<a href=$url>$url</a> <b>exists</b>.";  
   }  
   else {  
     echo "<a href=$url>$url</a> does <b>not</b> exist.";  
   }  
 
?>
