In order to check if an URL is an image, I use the PHP function get_headers
. In normal conditions, it works very well.
But when I'm behind a proxy, it causes a timeout exception. I had the same problem with file_put_contents
but I solved it by adding a context parameter. However, the get_headers
function hasn't a similar argument.
Do you know how to do please ?
Use stream_context_set_default
function.
This blog post explains how to use it. Here is the code from that page.
<?php
// Edit the four values below
$PROXY_HOST = "proxy.example.com"; // Proxy server address
$PROXY_PORT = "1234"; // Proxy server port
$PROXY_USER = "LOGIN"; // Username
$PROXY_PASS = "PASSWORD"; // Password
// Username and Password are required only if your proxy server needs basic authentication
$auth = base64_encode("$PROXY_USER:$PROXY_PASS");
stream_context_set_default(
array(
'http' => array(
'proxy' => "tcp://$PROXY_HOST:$PROXY_PORT",
'request_fulluri' => true,
'header' => "Proxy-Authorization: Basic $auth"
// Remove the 'header' option if proxy authentication is not required
)
)
);
$url = "http://www.pirob.com/";
print_r( get_headers($url) );
echo file_get_contents($url);
?>
