HI, Please excuse if similar issue has been posted earlier. I want to check if a remote image exists or not. say if url is http://example/image.png and no image exists there, then...?? Earlier I was using @getimagesize function, but later on found this comment saying that it makes server slow for on large images. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.getimagesize.php#88793 I don't know if the solution mentioned in that comment is correct rather efficient? Is there any other efficient, fast, small solution for this? Thanks in advance... Regards
