note 45435 added to function.filesize

For the people that keep asking how to get the filesize for a remote file, i figured this little thing out utilizing curl. Hope this helps someone Kris. /* * (mixed)remote_filesize($uri) * returns the size of a remote stream in bytes or * the string 'unknmown' */ function remote_filesize($uri) {     // start output buffering     ob_start();     // initialize curl with given uri     $ch = curl_init($uri);     // make sure we get the header     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);     // make it a http HEAD request     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 1);     $okay = curl_exec($ch);     curl_close($ch);     // get the output buffer     $head = ob_get_contents();     // clean the output buffer and return to previous     // buffer settings     ob_end_clean();     // gets you the numeric value from the Content-Length     // field in the http header     $regex = '/Content-Length:\s([0-9].+?)\s/';     $count = preg_match($regex, $head, $matches);     // if there was a Content-Length field, its value     // will now be in $matches[1]     if (isset($matches[1]))     {         $size = $matches[1];     } else {         $size = 'unknown';     }     return $size; } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.filesize.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+45435 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+45435&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+45435&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
