Php url uploader error

[bestman]

Hi, good day my fellow programmers, i need help in
making a url file uploader

in normal uploader, we use
$_POST[file][size];

to get the uploaded file size.

So i want to know what i will use to get the file size in a url uploader,
I tried
$file=("$_Post[file]");
$size= filesize('$file');

but it did not work

[ogah]

$file = $_POST['file'];
$size = filesize($file);

[bestman]

I have done it and it did not work the file was uploaded but the size was not stored

U need to use $_FILES global for form method file upload, not $_POST.
See this for details: file-upload.post-method

[something else]

function remote_filesize($url)
{
ob_start();
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 1);
$ok = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$head = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
$regex = '/Content-Length:\s([0-9].+?)\s/';
$count = preg_match($regex, $head, $matches);
return isset($matches[1]) ? $matches[1] : "unknown";
}
