Re: using getimagesize on remote files

Since I'm bored I just did a quick google and I found this: http://mike.nux.co.uk/ImageInformation/ Its a PHP Class which can: "determine if the file is a BMP, GIF, JPEG or PNG. It will also extract other generic information about the image, including resolution, height and width (without using the builtin GetImageSize() function) as well as other image type specific information." It does however only work on local files, so its your job if you chose to accept it to bring the file to your webserver (or atleast some of it) before you use the class.
