According to php.net: GETIMAGESIZE() "can reference a local file or (configuration permitting) a remote file using one of the supported streams."
My guess is that the "configuration permitting" bit is the problem. No more details provided there... I'm using a farm setup with subdomains which means my farm images get treated as a remote file, rather than local. I think the best solution may be to test the file page to see if it is local or remote (existence of a : perhaps?), and only automatically retrieve the height and width if it is local. Reading up more on the docs I see that to run this function, php has to copy over external files and cache the image on the server first. So this should also be a wise move performance wise also. When I get back I'll test that theory and see if it works. :) In the process I saw several scripts on the php site dealing with resizing images and creating thumbnails. I want to add a plugin for this at some point to solve the problem I have of members uploading gargantuan profile pix. So I guess all's well that ends well. If we get better functionality, it's worth a bit of aggravation!
