GetImageSize not working?

[Anon]

For some odd reason, I can't get PHP to open my images with GetImageSize. Here's my code:

$imagesize = GetImageSize ("http://www.gt3times.com/~cdlewis/machines.jpg");

And I get: "Warning: Unable to open http://www.gt3times.com/~cdlewis/machines.jpg in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/gt3times/live/user/view.php on line 963"

I've tested it with multiple files, on multiple public servers, checked all my file permissions on my local server, and read through every possible PHP image function known to man. Anyone have any ideas what's causing the hangup?

Thanks in advance,
-Cory

Hello Cory,

GetImageSize() cannot be used for external images.
This function supports the file which are on the same server on which your php script is running.

for eg. if your php script is on : http://www.server1.com/getimage.php then you can use it for all the images which are located on the same server for eg. http://www.server1.com/pic1.jpg or http://www.server1.com/images/pic2.gif.

You can use this function also for /usr/local/apache/htdocs/gt3times/live/user/pic1.gif assuming your php script is on the same server.

Hope this will help you out.
