FastImage

FastImage finds the dimensions or filetype of a remote image file given its uri by fetching as little as needed, based on the excellent Ruby implementation by Stephen Sykes., _(*1)

This version was forked from Tom Moor PHP port, and introduced a few changes:, _(*2)

• usage of exceptions
• ability to customize HTTP headers
• namespaced, composer-ready

Usage

<?php 

require 'Fastimage.php';

$uri = "http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8151/7357346052_54b8944f23_b.jpg";

// loading by creating an instance and use the 'load' method
$image = new FastImage();
$image->load($uri);
$type = $image->getType();
echo "filetype: " . $type;
