note 32166 added to function.getimagesize

I try to check imagesize from images wanting to be displayed on my guestbook, because I don't want the images too big. Works OK with most images, but somehow imagesize cannot check the size of some images. I think it might be because the address is https:// instead of the regular http:// or because it are animated gifs. Can anybody help how to check those images? examples of images that go wrong: https://img.web.de/v/mail/html_mail/smileys/smileys/smileys97.gif : failed to create stream: No such file or directory (( function file_exists returns false but, typing the URL directly in the address bar, makes the image to be displayed)) http://smiliez.de/images/879.gif http://chacabaou.herzos.net/smiliez.de/smiliez.de_94.gif (( = animated gif )) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.getimagesize.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+32166 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+32166&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+32166&report=yes
