I'm using the function below to get the file size of images hosted in the Cloud. I need to display this size on my page. When the page is loaded the first time it returns a notice: Undefined index: content-length. When reloading the page, the notice disappears and the page is displayed fine. Why is this happening and what should I do about it?
$post_id = get_the_ID();
$post_thumbnail_id = get_post_thumbnail_id( $post_id );
//retrieve the size in bytes
$filePath = get_the_post_thumbnail_url($post_id, 'full');
if (filter_var($filePath, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)) {
$ch = curl_init();
$headers = [];
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $filePath);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
// this function is called by curl for each header received
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION,
function($curl, $header) use (&$headers)
{
$len = strlen($header);
$header = explode(':', $header, 2);
if (count($header) < 2) // ignore invalid headers
return $len;
$name = strtolower(trim($header[0]));
if (!array_key_exists($name, $headers))
$headers[$name] = [trim($header[1])];
else
$headers[$name][] = trim($header[1]);
return $len;
}
);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
}
//convert the size in bytes to MB
$filemb = $headers['content-length']['0'] / 1000 / 1000;
$filemb = round($filemb,2);
// do my stuff
Amongst other things I took the advice of 04FS and Geoffrey and worked out a different approach. I created a Custom Field (filesize) in WooCommerce and at product creation, I set the field with the value returned by the function above.
So, I'm storing it in my own database. Because of that, the page speed will not be decreased. I think it will also be beneficial for bandwidth usage.
So it is only retrieved once.
@04FS and @Geoffrey.... thanks!
EDIT:
It appears not reliable after all. Sometimes it is set and sometimes it don't> Have to figure that one out.....
