IIS7 and getimagesize() problem

[MrCreeky]

I have just discovered after hrs of trying to fix a problem where it's coming from. It's to do with the php function getimagesize() and path names.

 

When using these two different sets of code:

 

<?php
list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize("store_closed.gif");
echo "<img src=\"store_closed.gif\" $attr alt=\"getimagesize() example\" />";
?>

 

 

<?php
list($width,$height,$type,$attr)=getimagesize("C:\inetpub\wwwroot\hifisquad.com\store_closed.gif");
echo $width;
echo $height;
echo $type;
echo $attr;
?>

 

However when I try and use this function with a path like this: http://www.myname.com/store_closed.gif

the page errors.

 

I'm running this system on a Win2008 IIS7 server, is there a setting to enable the above style of path or am I missing something else?

the function can only get the image file size of local file you will have to fetch the file off the web write it to a local file and then run the function

Hi,

 

The problem with that is this code is part of a pre-built shopping cart system and it's error-ing when it's generating the customer email and the admin email. All the files that are being called are located on the sever so I don't know what to do.

Sure about that?

 

daniel@daniel-laptop:~$ php -r "var_dump(getimagesize('http://www.phpfreaks.com/media/images/forums/bg_header.png'));"
array(6) {
  [0]=>
  int(950)
  [1]=>
  int(133)
  [2]=>
  int(3)
  [3]=>
  string(24) "width="950" height="133""
  ["bits"]=>
  int(
  ["mime"]=>
  string(9) "image/png"
}

Do you want us to guess the errors, or are you going to tell us?

Sorry I forgot that not everyone psychic ability is as good as mine

 

This was the error from the second code I printed:

 

PHP Warning: getimagesize(http://www.hifisquad.com/store_closed.gif) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\hifisquad.com\getim.php on line 2

 

I think I may have found the fault, but will let you know....
