better way to get image width & hieght

[onenonly]

getimagesize() function is too slow when loading .

all i want is image height and width but it takes so long

 

I have 5 image on my page, each is like 322 kb

it lags for like 3 secs but thats way to long for just 5 image

 

soon i will be adding thousands of image

anyways of getting image width and height faster?

How exactly you use the getimagesize?

Im using a remote file which is 322kb total of five on 1 page

i get the width and height from my remote image using getimagesize() then resize the image them

well, why exactly do you have to resize the images automatically ? perhaps there is a better way.

 

are you trying to fit them in a predetermined area ?

Most likely reason to the slowness is that your are dealing with remote content and when you call imagesize for a remote image php will download the image first to your server. Maybe try to use cURL instead. See this and the first comment from the comments: http://fi2.php.net/function.getimagesize . I haven't used curl so I can't really help with that.

  function getWidth() {
      return imagesx($this->image);
   }
   function getHeight() {
      return imagesy($this->image);
   }

As tendolla mention, I don't think it is the function causing the lag, but images being downloaded causing lag.

you could always create a new db table and write a script to store the info there when you upload them...

Or at least make the loading page insert the info for the images on loading, this will make sure you would never have to get the size of any image more than once..

Indeed some sort of cache or storage for image information could be a choice also. So that you wouldn't need to get the sizes everytime someone loads images.
