Is there a way to get the remote file size of a list of links?

Is it possible to get the remote file size for a list of links, get the file size for each and every one of these links from a array or .txt file?

hope that below will fit your needs

function remote_file_size($url){

$header = get_headers($url, true);

if (isset($header['Content-Length']))

    return (int) $header['Content-Length'];
}

Nope, this isn't doing the trick. I want to get the file size for each link from an array. Say the array has a 100 links, i'd like to get the size of the 100 links each separately. – Kirmaan Aboobaker Feb 11 '14 at 14:23
you call the function in a loop, i didnt get it. why its not working – Saddam Abu Ghaida Feb 11 '14 at 14:30
Could you elaborate a little more ? – Kirmaan Aboobaker Feb 11 '14 at 14:32
while you are reading the links you pass it to the function and get the result out of it, it works if the content-length is being specified in the header of the reponse which is set in most of the cases – Saddam Abu Ghaida Feb 11 '14 at 14:34
Well I need to pass the function an array full of links and have the size of each link returned back. – Kirmaan Aboobaker Feb 11 '14 at 15:40
Well Its not working for me, could you detail to me how I pass an array to the function ? – Kirmaan Aboobaker Feb 11 '14 at 15:46
