README

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.

This version was forked from Tom Moor PHP port, and introduced a few changes:

• 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;
