check if image before download

Recommended Posts

I have a function that downloads an image. Is there a way to determine if it is actually an image before downloading it? If the image is non existant there is an html page and currently the function downloads that too, which I don't need

 

 

Thank you much

The error html is:

<html><BODY><TITLE>This is a banner mirrors site for thetvdb.com</TITLE>

<H2>The page your requested does not exist.  Please check  
<A HREF="http://www.thetvdb.com">thetvdb.com</A> for more information.
</H2>
</BODY>
</HTML>

 

 

the function

function LoadImageCURL($save_to){
	$ch = curl_init($this->source);
	$fp = fopen($save_to, "wb");

	// set URL and other appropriate options
	$options = array(CURLOPT_FILE => $fp,
									 CURLOPT_HEADER => 0,
									 CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => 1,
									 CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 60); // 1 minute timeout (should be enough)

	curl_setopt_array($ch, $options);

	$result=curl_exec($ch);
	curl_close($ch);
	fclose($fp);
	return $result;
}
