Hello, is it possible to find out how many pages has a .PDF file? [using php, obviously]
I've been trying to do it but haven't had much luck so far, since my webserver keeps freezing when I try to read the file.
Thanks in advance for any help on this matter,

Should we maybe figure out why you can't open the PDF file first? 
Huh? by 'my webserver keeps freezing when I try to read the file' I meant when trying to read the .pdf using php. My webserver freezes because the .pdf is 23mbs large.
anyway...
That's what I'm saying - I would presume you'd need to open the file before you could get any information as to its length from it. That's why I suggested we figure out a way to simply open the file with PHP, then we could work on page numbering.
Oh, sorry then, I misunderstood what you said.
Anyway, does has anyone tried this before? to get the number of pages off a PDF file? Anything PDF to PHP related? To find out a simple way to open the file without freezing the server, as Horizon suggested.
If you use the [man]PDF[/man] library in PHP, you can use [man]pdf_get_pdi_value/man to get the page count as explained in the user-contributed notes section in the manual.
