loadpicfromjpeg and remote picture

Is there a way to load a jpeg (loadpicturefromjpeg from gd library) from
remote location? (I need to find out the height and width of a picture that
is residing on another server...)

Best regards,

You can try to save that pic into a temporary folder and then apply
the http://www.php.net/getimagesize( getimagesize function) which
will return width, height, type and attributes of that image!

Yes, but how to get the picture (via fopen?) Also there's a performance
issue, since I would have to get the picture once from server with pictures
to server running script and then that same picture would be sent to
browser. Any ideas?

Yes, you can use fopen to open that file and then write the content to
the one on server!
But i think you may have another option, you can get the image
height and width using javascript and this will resolve your server
load, the image will be called directlly from the user browser from
the other server, and with the javascript code you can get what you
need!
I found a good example of where you can start with the javascript:
