Check Filesize Of Remote File Using PHP
This script is used to check filesize for a file located on a remote (far away) web server.
function get_remote_size($url){
$uh = curl_init();
curl_setopt($uh, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
// set NO-BODY to not receive body part
curl_setopt($uh, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 1);
// set HEADER to be false, we don't need header
curl_setopt($uh, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
// retrieve last modification time
curl_setopt($uh, CURLOPT_FILETIME, 1);
curl_exec($uh);
// assign filesize into $filesize variable
$filesize = curl_getinfo($uh,CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD);
// assign file modification time into $filetime variable
$filetime = curl_getinfo($uh,CURLINFO_FILETIME);
curl_close($uh);
// push out
return array("size"=>$filesize,”time”=>$filetime);
}
// You can use it as follow:
print_r(get_remote_size(”http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/0.8.6c/win32/vlc-0.8.6c-win32.exe”));
?>
Hope it’s cool ^_^
