note 22490 deleted from function.md5-file by nlopess

Note Submitter: derek at sybodek dot com ---- The md5_of_file function will not work with offsite files. If you wish to use offsite files, you cannot use the filesize($file) function because it needs direct access to the file. To get past this, just set your own, or if it is user input just have them supply it in the form. I use something around 350k just to be safe. Here is the modified md5_of_file for those that don't have the md5_file function and need to md5 files remotely. Locally the above listed function still works: ////////////////////////////////////////// function md5_remote_file($input,$estFilesize){ $fd = @fopen($input, "r"); if ($fd){ $fileContents = fread($fd, $estFilesize); return md5($fileContents); @fclose($fd); } else { return false; } } //////////////////////////////////// If anyone knows a better way to get the size of a remote file, please email me.
