    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

    Why not use cURL?
