获取远程文件大小（不使用 Content-Length 字段）

Question

I need to get size of remote file without download. I use this code, but headers from some sites doesn't contain Content-Length: field. How can I get filesize in that cases?

$ch = curl_init("http://wordpress.org/latest.zip");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

$contentLength = 'unknown';
if (preg_match('/Content-Length: (\d+)/', $data, $matches)) {
  $contentLength = (int)$matches[1];
}
echo $contentLength;

this is result of echo $data;

Answer 1

If Content-Length header is not present, that means that file size is unknown. In your case you have Content-Disposition header, wich means that downloadable file is an attachment to server response (same as email attachment). So here if you have no Content-Length header you can't get the size.
