4.3.0 Bug in getimagesize() ?

[jim_keller]

i upgraded to PHP 4.3.0 today and anywhere in my scripts getimagesize() was passed a URL, it simply returns nothing, but gives no error message (makes it bad for doing

 if ( $image_info = getimagesize('http://path/toimage') ) 

because that will return false even on a valid image. It works fine with local paths like /home/mydir/something.jpg

I'm using FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE, I CVSup'd my ports and installed mod_php4. Everything went well except for this. Can anyone verify?

try using fopen() and fread() to get remote file info.

try using fopen() and fread() to get remote file info.

isn't that a workaround? getimagesize() is supposed to support URLs, according to the documentation.

It still works on URLs. Make sure the image you are trying to check exists and it's in an area where you are allowed to read it without authorization.
