Is there anyway that I can determine the filesize of a file on a remote server?

You can open a file on another server, using fopen().
The "get file"-thing you probably have to do by yourself, but it isn't hard. You just loops through the content of the file and increments a size variable, when finding a single character.

Character = 1 byte.

This should work for PHP > 5.0

<?php

function getSize($fn){


$ary_header = get_headers($fn, 1);           

$filesize = $ary_header['Content-Length'];


return $filesize;

}

?>

There are a bunch of code regarding this over here PHP: filesize - Manual

As long as your on php 5.0 or above, filesize("http://thissite.org/index.html"); will work. Else, Sidewinders code does work.
