Cannot get Facebook Profile Picture Size

Question

I am trying to get the size of Facebook user's profile pictures by using the following code:

getimagesize('http://graph.facebook.com/XXXXXXXXXXXX/picture?type=large')

where XXXXXXXXXXXXXX is the Facebook's user ID.

When I tested the code on my local machine, I could get the image size back. However, when I tested on remote server with www.domain.com, the (http://graph.facebook.com/XXXXXXXXXXXX/picture?type=large) return nothing.

What's possible reason of this issue? Can anybody give me some hints?

Thanks.

Have you checked the error logs? I'm guessing the request isn't being made or the response isn't coming back properly. What version of PHP are you using? — Jimmy Sawczuk

The getimagesize() requires that allow_url_fopen is set to "1" in php.ini. You may want to check that setting on your remote server.
