Best way i found was to open the url into $data and make a temporary file with the contents of $data then get the fstats on the temporary file :).
OMG why? The only thing that will remain is the file size. You also download up to 1G file, which probably is not what you want.
To get size use PHP's function filesize() with URL wrappers or ask yourself via HTTP.
fstat
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
fstat — Gets information about a file using an open file pointer
Description
array fstat ( resource $handle )Gathers the statistics of the file opened by the file pointer handle. This function is similar to the stat() function except that it operates on an open file pointer instead of a filename.
Returns an array with the statistics of the file; the format of the array is described in detail on the stat() manual page.
Example 634. fstat() example
<?php
// open a file
$fp = fopen("/etc/passwd", "r");
// gather statistics
$fstat = fstat($fp);
// close the file
fclose($fp);
// print only the associative part
print_r(array_slice($fstat, 13));
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
Array
(
[dev] => 771
[ino] => 488704
[mode] => 33188
[nlink] => 1
[uid] => 0
[gid] => 0
[rdev] => 0
[size] => 1114
[atime] => 1061067181
[mtime] => 1056136526
[ctime] => 1056136526
[blksize] => 4096
[blocks] => 8
)
Note: This function will not work on remote files as the file to be examined must be accessible via the servers filesystem.

On Windows NT the typical array element names for the fstat function are:
dev
ino
mode
nlink
uid
gid
size
atime
mtime
ctime

Currently fstat() is indexed by name instead of by number like stat().
Example: $s_array=fstat($fp); print $s_array["mtime"];fclose($fp);
