Answer 1

You cannot get file size of remote elements, either give a relative path on your system OR do a file_get_contents() to get contents first . Thus, instead of http:// , do a filesize('/path/to/local/system') . Make sure its readable by php process

Answer 2

You can't look up the filesize of a remote file like that. It is meant for looking at the filesize of local files.

For instance...

$imgsize = filesize( '/home/projects/site/1.jpg' );

Answer 3

filesize takes the name of the file as argument not a URL and it returns the size of the file in bytes. You can divide the return value with 1024 to get the size in KB.

Answer 4

filesize() is the function to use. It might be failing because

1. You're trying to get a web address & URL wrappers may not be turned on
2. That URL isn't valid.

If you're trying to run filesize() on a local file, reference the file system path, not some web URL.
