PHP - How to get dimension of hotlink protected image? (TGP)

[guschi2k]

Thanks for your answer Unfortunately it's not working for me, b/c as far as I know getimagesize() cannot bypass hotlinking

I tried it with this image:
http://www.shizzn.com/x/stuff/open/cimg3621.jpg - no hotlink protection
http://www.shizzn.com/x/stuff/prot/cimg3621.jpg - htaccess hotlink protection


I know tried it like that:

$target_host = "www.shizzn.com";
$target_path = "/x/stuff/prot/cimg3621.jpg";

#header("Content-Type: text/plain");
header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
    $fp = fsockopen("$target_host", 80, $errno, $errstr, 5);
    if(!$fp){echo "$errstr ($errno)<br>\n";}
    else
      {
      $out = "GET ". $target_path ." HTTP/1.1\r\n";
      $out .= "Host: ". $target_host ."\r\n";
      $out .= "Referer: http://". $target_host ."\r\n";
      $out .= "User-Agent: Blabla Browser Name(xyz)\r\n";
      $out .= "Keep-Alive: 200\r\n";
      $out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";

      fwrite($fp, $out);
      while (!feof($fp))
        {
        $status_request = fgets($fp, 500000);
        echo  $status_request;
        $file = fopen("temp_img.jpg","w+");
        fwrite($file,$status_request);
        fclose($file);
        }
      fclose($fp);
      }

but somehow it's just not working I'm no PHP expert, though I've been messing with it for years *lol ... if I could ... at least find out a way how to save the image to my server and then do a getimagesize() on the local file?

I just really s*ck! when it comes to file operations *lol If only a head request would also give info about the dimensions I'm using the head request to check the status (redirection, 404 etc) and the image size in bytes, which works perfectly fine
