According to this, when faced with a simple “download file XYZ” operation, wget will return a return code of 1 when the download fails for some reason. It won’t work for complex operations like mirroring a site, but in your case, it should be fine.
You can get hold of the return code using exec()`s “return_var” variable.
Wget should return
1(or some other status code that is not0) if it is presented with a proper 404 page. Try it out.To actually distinguish the exact error status code that wget receives, I think you’ll have to start parsing its output (or use a PHP-based web client class.)
