getimagesize only works from the console?

Hi, I am new to php and to these forums, and I'm having trouble with the getimagesize funtion of php. I am using php 4.3.5 on OpenBSD 3.5 which uses a chrooted apache+php.

If I have a simple php script like:

<?php
list($img_width, $img_height) = @getimagesize("http://my.image.url/image.jpg");
print "width: ".$img_width." _- height: ".$img_height."\n";
?>

I can run the script fine from the command line (as in: "php myscript.php") and get the image size returned correctly. However, if I run the script through apache (i.e. view it in my web browser) blank values are printed for the image dimensions.

I had to set

allow_url_fopen = On

in my php.ini but that only made it work from the command line php processor, not through apache.

Does anyone know what is hapenning (and better: how to make this work as it should)?

Thanks,

-Rob

list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize("http://my.image.url/image.jpg");

echo "width: $width - height: $height\n";

Thanks for replying Frederick, but unfortunately that code does exactly the same thing as my original code (I have tested it to make sure, but the behavior is exactly the same). The problem is that entering

$ php /path/to/htdocs/myscript.php

at the comand line works fine, but in a browser, accessing the url http://www.myserver.com/myscript.php just returns

width: - height:

in my browser window. Thanks for any ideas you have about this,

This may be a stupid question but can you execute anything else through your browser? phpinfo()?
I'm wondering if apache/php are playing nice together or if you need to edit you httpd.conf.

I fixed this problem. It was not only affecting getimagesize(url) but also fopen(url...) and so on.

This was a problem with the fact I was using chroot apache. I had not given apache any way to do DNS so when it hit a url which included a domain name it choked. For OpenBSD I fixed this by copying /etc/resolv.conf into /var/www/etc/resolv.conf
