How to determine filesize of external file (i.e. http://somewhere.com/test.gif)?

Espen Holje,

Workaround: 
Loop using fread and check for eof with a predefined buffersize 
(example using 1000 bytes buffer)

		$fp = fopen ($picture_name, "r"); 
		while (!feof($fp))
		{
			$contents .= fread($fp, 1000);
		}
		fclose($fp);

		print "filseize: " . strlen($contents) . "<br>";

		$fp2 = fopen ("c:/temp/test.gif","w");
		fwrite($fp2,$contents,strlen($contents));
		fclose($fp2);
