It's only possible if you have read access to this file.
open it fopen()
http://www.php3.de/manual/en/function.fopen.php

read it
http://www.php3.de/manual/en/function.fgets.php

write it to temporary to your filesystem
http://www.php3.de/manual/en/function.fputs.php
http://www.php3.de/manual/en/function.fwrite.php

read filesize of temp file
http://www.php3.de/manual/en/function.filesize.php

delete it
http://www.php3.de/manual/en/function.unlink.php

You may get the size of a file by sending a HEAD HTTP request to the server. This works OK for images, mp3's and some others (.php usually is not among them).

try this code:

$URL = "http://www.phpbuilder.com/images/new-logo.gif";
$URL_parts = parse_url($URL);
if(!isset($URL_parts['port'])) $URL_parts['port'] = 80;

$s = fsockopen($URL_parts['host'], $URL_parts['port']) or die("Can't connect");
fputs($s, "HEAD ".$URL_parts['path']." HTTP/1.0\n");
fputs($s, "Host: ".$URL_parts['host']."\n");
fputs($s, "\n");
$HDR = '';
while(false !== ($resp = fgets($s, 1024))) $HDR .= $resp;
fclose($s);

$preg = '/Content-Length: ([0-9]+)/i';
if(preg_match($preg, $HDR, $mtch))
	echo "Filesize: ".$mtch[1];
else echo "Filesize unknown.\nHeaders received:\n".$HDR;
