Hi. I want to include an image on my home page that is dynamically created
from another website. The source code on a typical HTML page would be <img
src="http://www.othersite.com/returnedimage.aspx";>
I don't trust their server will always be up/respond, so I want to use a PHP
function to determine whether a GIF has been returned (oppsed to an HTTP
error) before sending it to the browser. Any recommendations how to do this?
<img src="/image.php" />
image.php:
<?php
$image=file_get_contents('http://www.othersite.com/returnedimage.aspx');
if(substr($image,0,3)=='GIF') echo $image;
else readfile('alternate_image.gif');
?>
