Filesize

[Anon]

Hi,

is it with PHP possible to view an external files size? A file on another server that is: http://www.what.ever.com/file.mp3

If so, what would that could look like?

[spider_man]

echo filesize(http://www.what.ever.com/file.mp3');

I think it should work.

I don't. I think thos commands only work on local files.

Have you tried it? If it doesn't work, then this does for sure:

$file = 'http://server/file.mp3';

$handle = fopen($file, r);

while (!feof($handle))
$data .= fread($handle,1);

echo strlen($data);

Please try it!
