Hi,

Here is what i do to know the level of a proxy:
#: grab your own IP ( http://curlmyip.de/ )
#: have a phpinfo.php page to query ( http://leserged.online.fr/phpinfo.php )

1: query the phpinfo page using the proxy you want to check
2: check for footprint, example: "phpinfo()" if this footprint isn't in the response, it means the proxy isn't even return the right page, it's garbage
3: check if your real IP is in the response, if it is, then the proxy is transparent.
4: if your your real IP is not in the response, then you at least have an anonymous proxy
5: now, to know if it's elite or anonymous, you need to check for special headers that the proxy server would add to your query, here is a small list you can check for: "VIA", "FORWARDED", "CLIENT_IP", if one these headers is in the response of phpinfo(), then it's anonymous, if you don't find any you may have found an elite proxy :)

If you guys have other methods, i'd like to hear them!
