getting images remotely

getimagesize, fopen

[vasile_radu]

Hi, I have a problem concerning the time for getimagesize remotely.
I've searched with google and found here a post ( of ianevans ) on this topic whith a solution to the problem, that is, to copy the file on local machine and then try getimagesize function.

$asin = "0788815709";
$url = http://images.example.com/images/P/".$asin.".01.MZZZZZZZ.jpg";
$filedata = "";
$remoteimage = fopen($url, 'rb');
if ($remoteimage) {
while(!feof($remoteimage)) {
$filedata.= fread($remoteimage,1024);
}
}
fclose($remoteimage);
$localimage = fopen("/tmp/".$asin.".jpg", 'wb');
fwrite($localimage,$filedata);
fclose($localimage);
$size=getimagesize($localimage);

But I get the following warnings

Warning: fopen(/tmp/0788815709.jpg) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\web\lightBT\test.php on line 13
Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in C:\web\lightBT\test.php on line 14

Thanks,
Radu Vasile

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

It is creating file in "/tmp/" folder. I assume that folder does not exist, and you have to point to existing folder, like "C:/web/tmp/"

$localimage = fopen("C:/web/".$asin.".jpg", 'wb');

Thanks for the greetings and for the fast reply,

But :) , here is the code. The directory "tmp" exists and moreover the following code succes to copy the image in tmp directory.

<?php
$asin = "0788815709";
$url = "http://images.example.com/images/P/".$asin.".01.MZZZZZZZ.jpg";
$filedata = "";
$remoteimage = fopen($url, 'rb');
if ($remoteimage) {
 while(!feof($remoteimage)) {
 $filedata.= fread($remoteimage,1024);
 }
}
fclose($remoteimage);
$localimage = fopen("c:/web/lightBT/tmp/".$asin.".jpg", 'wb');
fwrite($localimage,$filedata);
fclose($localimage);
$size=getimagesize($localimage);
?> 

But I get the following worning:

Warning: getimagesize(Resource id #2) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\web\lightBT\test.php on line 16

Thanks again,
Radu Vasile

Welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com], vasile_radu!

getimagesize [php.net] expects a string filename.

$localimage

is defined by what

fopen

returns, which is a file stream handle -- not a string filename. Change your last line:

$size=getimagesize("c:/web/lightBT/tmp/".$asin.".jpg");
print_r($size);

Thanks a lot, I've put in practice what you told me and it works. :)
