This is what you are talking about, at least this is what I can infer from your posts.

PHP Code:


			
function getSize ( $url )

{

    if ( intval(phpversion()) < 5 )

        die ( 'PHP5 Required' );

    

    $headers = get_headers ( $url, 1 );

    return $headers['Content-Length'];

}



echo getSize ( 'http://www.google.com/images/firefox/fox1.gif' );

You will need PHP5 in order for this function to operate, you can use a php4 replacement, you would have to find the function or write it yourself at http://php.net/get_headers in the comments section.

It gets the headers of the file, which does not download the file itself (this will make it faster than using file_get_contents

Was this what you had in mind?
