Get Remote filesize Using cURL + PHP

[morency]

// Create a curl connection
$chGetSize = curl_init();

// Set the url we're requesting
curl_setopt($chGetSize, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.example.com/file.exe");

// Set a valid user agent
curl_setopt($chGetSize, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11");

// Don't output any response directly to the browser
curl_setopt($chGetSize, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

// Don't return the header (we'll use curl_getinfo();
curl_setopt($chGetSize, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);

// Don't download the body content
curl_setopt($chGetSize, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true);

// Run the curl functions to process the request
$chGetSizeStore = curl_exec($chGetSize);
$chGetSizeError = curl_error($chGetSize);
$chGetSizeInfo = curl_getinfo($chGetSize);

// Close the connection
curl_close($chGetSize);// Print the file size in bytes

echo $chGetSizeInfo['download_content_length'];

also you can use php 'get_headers()' function.

<?php
$url = 'http://www.example.com';
print_r(get_headers($url, 1));
?>

out put:

Array
(
    [0] => HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    [Date] => Sat, 29 May 2004 12:28:14 GMT
    [Server] => Apache/1.3.27 (Unix)  (Red-Hat/Linux)
    [Last-Modified] => Wed, 08 Jan 2003 23:11:55 GMT
    [ETag] => "3f80f-1b6-3e1cb03b"
    [Accept-Ranges] => bytes
    [Content-Length] => 438
    [Connection] => close
    [Content-Type] => text/html
)

hy , thanks for reply !

I always like to send valide headers, at least USERAGENT when I take something from other site .
