PHP Remote File Size

[gamehead200]

Hello once again, everyone!

I am in the process of creating a script that gets the file size of a remote file. Then, if the file is a certain size, it displays a certain message, and if its a different size, it displays a different message. I have looked at all of the remote file size scripts submitted by people on PHP.net but have had no luck.

Can someone please guide me in the right direction?

Got this from PHP.NET

<?phpfunction remote_file_size ($url){   $head = "";   $url_p = parse_url($url);   $host = $url_p["host"];   $path = $url_p["path"];
   $fp = fsockopen($host, 80, $errno, $errstr, 20);   if(!$fp)   { return false; }   else   {       fputs($fp, "HEAD ".$url." HTTP/1.1\r\n");       fputs($fp, "HOST: dummy\r\n");       fputs($fp, "Connection: close\r\n\r\n");       $headers = "";       while (!feof($fp)) {           $headers .= fgets ($fp, 128);       }   }   fclose ($fp);   $return = false;   $arr_headers = explode("\n", $headers);   foreach($arr_headers as $header) {       $s = "Content-Length: ";       if(substr(strtolower ($header), 0, strlen($s)) == strtolower($s)) {           $return = substr($header, strlen($s));           break;       }   }   return $return;}
print ("Google logo is " . remote_file_size ("http://www.google.it/intl/it_it/images/logo.gif") . " bytes!");?>

I tried this one before... I'll see if it works again, I guess...

Edit: Still no luck!

have you changed "dummy" to the actual domain name of the server your a connecting to? Are you sure you have fopen privilages for remote urls? are you sure the server supports the HEAD command (some uncommon servers dont)?
