Dear all!

I'm a newb in PHP programming language, and I do not know how to download images from a remove server to my server.

In my case, I have to calculate the total size of some images from a remote server. So, I think that firstly I have to download these images to my server and use filesize($imagePath) to calculate the size of them. Cause the filesize() function does not work with $imagePath = url (local path only ???)

Please help me ! smile.gif

Regards,
kotaro

You don't have to download the image. All you have to do is do a HEAD http request and in the header their should be a content-length (or something like that) that will give the file size.
