note 62259 added to function.filesize

For HTTP and other streams based files, you can use a stream notifier to get the filesize. You don't have to resort to cURL or header parsing yourself.

<?php
 $ctxt = stream_context_create();
 stream_context_set_params($ctxt, array( "notification" => "notifier" ) );
 $f = fopen ($url, "rb", false, $ctxt );


 function notifier( $code, $severity, $msg, $xcode, $sofar, $fileSize )
 {
 if ( $code == STREAM_NOTIFY_FILE_SIZE_IS )
 {
 echo "SIZE = $fileSize\n";
 }
 }
