# FastImage

FastImage finds the dimensions or filetype of a remote image file given its uri by fetching as little as needed, based on the excellent [Ruby implementation by Stephen Sykes](https://github.com/sdsykes/fastimage).


## Usage
```php
<?php 
		
require 'Fastimage.php';
		
$uri = "http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8151/7357346052_54b8944f23_b.jpg";
		
// loading image into constructor
$image = new FastImage($uri);
list($width, $height) = $image->getSize();
echo "dimensions: " . $width . "x" . $height;

// or, create an instance and use the 'load' method
$image = new FastImage();
$image->load($uri);
$type = $image->getType();
echo "filetype: " . $type;
```
