Any danger of using PHP getimagesize function?
<p>I have this host that disables allow_url_fopen as they said it is a security risk which in turns prevents my use of getimagesize function because I am passing in a http.</p>

<p>My site is on Wordpress and I am using getimagesize to pull in a image within the uploads folder of a Wordpress site which obviously contains http://.  </p>

<p>So my question is if this is not safe?  If it is not safe, how can this be done within a Wordpress environment?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
