RE: [PHP] best function to use ~ file_get_contents or ?

This is what I said, except if you want to grab the content you need to request HEAD first and eventually GET, and this is slower than just GET parsing headers. In any case, curl is the answer, imho. Regards Requesting only the headers is a lot faster than requesting the headers AND the file itself. _________________________________________________________________ Drag n’ drop—Get easy photo sharing with Windows Live™ Photos. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowslive/products/photos.aspx
