Hi,

According to the PHP documentation:

it stated that as of php5, filesize supports the reading of remote html
files:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.filesize.php

But I have tried the following:
echo filesize("http://www.yahoo.com/");

It returned me this error:

Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for..blah blah

Anyone have this same problem?

Yes. Im using PHP5

..

Did read a bit on the online manual,
http://php.net/manual/en/function.filesize.php and it says that you need
a wrapper to be able to read the filesize remotly, see the following
page for more info about wrappershttp://www.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.php

It also states that you should look in the HTTP wrapper section of the
appendix to see if it's supported by the stat() function. Like this
function, filesize() only works on local files and doesn't support the
HTTP protocol.

If you want to check the size of a remote file, you could do something
as follows:

$fp = fsockopen('www.google.com', 80);
fputs($fp, "HEAD / HTTP/1.0\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Host: www.google.com\r\n\r\n");

$size = 0;
while (!feof($fp)) {
$line = fgets($fp, 1024);
if (preg_match('/content-length:\s*(\d+)/i', $line, $m)) {
$size = $m[1];
break;
}
}
fclose($fp);

print "Size of Google homepage HTML: $size bytes";

It also says in the manual (you have to read it carefully):

> As of PHP 5.0.0 this function can also be used with *some* URL

To summarize, these wrappers support the use of stat():

Filesystem Yes
Socket No
HTTP and HTTPS No
FTP and FTPS Partial [1]
PHP input/output streams php://memory and php://temp only
Compression Streams No [2]
Data (RFC 2397) No
Secure Shell 2 ssh2.ftp only
Audio Streams No
Process Interaction Streams No
http://www.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.php

[1] As of PHP 5.0.0: filesize(), filetype(), file_exists(), is_file(),
and is_dir() elements only. As of PHP 5.1.0: filemtime().
[2] Use the normal file:// wrapper to stat compressed files.

Yes, because it's used in a header context (Host), which should be ended
with CRLF characters.
