What if an image doesn’t exist at the url…? How do I make it not show an error?

thanks,

I prefer to use your code, pushpinder.

I say this works…


function image_exists($url)

{
$info = @getimagesize(urlencode($url));
return((bool) $info);

}

because, this one is take long time to load…

$url=@getimagesize($url); if(!is_array($url)) {

Cron’s code above also worked much faster for me. Nice contributions on all sides.

I found this function very slow so I came up with another solution to the problem. The function below only gets 1 byte of data from the image and it seems to be a bit quicker on my server at least:

function url_exists($url) {
if(@file_get_contents($url,0,NULL,0,1)){return 1;}else{ return 0;}
}

Cheers,
cron

Hi,

Just thought I’d let you know, problem solved.

It was just including a warning message, so I included ‘@’ in front of getimagesize.

So:

$imgurl_check = ‘imgurl’;

if (!is_array(@getimagesize($imgurl_check)))
{
..
}

Sorry, directly = directory.

And even if the directly wasn’t the right one, isn’t the whole point of this to figure out whether the file (file path) exists?

Any suggestions?

Thanks
