Answer 2

$curl = curl_init('http://example.com');

// don't the content, we need the headers
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
// get the modified date
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FILETIME, true);

$result = curl_exec($curl);

if ($result === false) 
    die(curl_error($curl)); 

$tm = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_FILETIME);
if ($tm != -1) 
    echo date("d-m-Y H:i:s", $tm);
