DrTebi at yahoo dot com is wrong. is_readable() checks whether you can do file_get_contents() or similar calls, no more, no less. If the location given returns a 500 or 403 error, you can still read() that (you'll simply get the error page), but it's still read()able. Using is_readable to check the validity of a URL is simply the wrong function.

Помилки/Винятки
При збоях, буде видаватись E_WARNING.
Примітки
Keep in mind that PHP may be accessing the file as the user id that the web server runs as (often 'nobody'). Safe mode limitations are not taken into account before PHP 5.1.5.

Підказка
As of PHP 5.0.0, this function can also be used with some URL wrappers. Refer to Supported Protocols and Wrappers to determine which wrappers support stat() family of functionality.
Зауваження:
The check is done using the real UID/GID instead of the effective one.
This function may return TRUE for directories. Use
is_dir() to distinguish file and directory.

Note that is_readable() will return false for streams, eg, php://stdin.

is readable recursively. Check all sub directories and files readable
<?php
function is_readable_r($dir) {
if (is_dir($dir)) {
if(is_readable($dir)){
$objects = scandir($dir);
foreach ($objects as $object) {
if ($object != "." && $object != "..") {
if (!is_readable_r($dir."/".$object)) return false;
else continue;
}
}
return true;
}else{
return false;
}
}else if(file_exists($dir)){
return (is_readable($dir));
}
}
?>
