Note Submitter: tmpa at yahoo dot com ---- @Anonymous Re: Shortest solution to get filesize of a remote website It would be better to use strlen() instead so you don't have to write a temporary file and incur that extra overhead since the content is already in memory. <?php $size = strlen(file_get_contents("http://www.example.com")); ?> This was basically suggested by revoke, but no need to use file() and join() when you can just use file_get_contents() (unless you have an old version of php of course).
