filesize() - error

[sciwaysoft]

I am getting this error

Warning: stat failed for http://www.mydomain.com/images_c/c_055.jpg (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in /var/www/html/imgwin.php on line 4

I am delivering this url:

http://www.mydomain.com/showpic.php?img=055

I am using this script

<?

$imgfile = "http://www.mydomain.com/images_c/c_" . $img . ".jpg";
$imgsize = filesize($imgfile)/1024 ; //line 4
?>

I just need to know the size of my file in kbs.. but alas.. is an error... any one.. please help

The "stat" based functions (filesize, file_exists, is_file, filemtime, etc) don't work with URLs in PHP 4.

You'll need to open the URL with [man]fopen[/man] then read it with [man]fread[/man], counting bytes as you go.

Upgrading to PHP 5 (when it is released, or one of the PHP 5 release candidates which are out now) may allow you to use filesize on URLs (I haven't tried it).

I am really new to php and need immediate help.. can you please write some lines for me. I need my script to work..... thanks in advance

The third example on the [man]fread[/man] manual page reads a URL into a variable called $contents. Do that, then strlen($contents) is the size of the file.
