Hey everyone, I hope someone could help me. I have been trying to find a way or a program to just tell me the dimensions of an .swf flash file, but everyone has been telling me it's simple with PHP.

Since I don't know any coding, I was wondering if someone could help me. People have been saying that I just need a few lines of code and once i plug in the .swf URL, it will tell me the dimensions. If there's a script that could do that when I visit a "special URL", that would be great.

Thanks in advance!

URL? This may work on local files only, but I hope that if fopen_wrappers on your hosting are allowed than you will be able to get the info for remote file over HTTP.

$info = getimagesize($path_or_url);
list($width, $height) = $info;

In the past, I had problem using getimagesize() with certains flash files.
Some of them could not be parsed (I believe it was a problem due to a flash compression method not handled by PHP).
To be able to get those values all the time, I had to make a system call to a program named swfdump.
