getimagesize() on a php file: fix or workaround?

[sabret00the]

heres the code

PHP Code:

            $grps_postsinfo['avatar']=iif($grps_postsinfo['hascustom'],"image.php?u=$grps_postsinfo[userid]&dateline=$grps_postsinfo[avatardateline]","$grps_postsinfo[avatarpath]");
            usleep(1500);
            $avatarinfo = getimagesize($grps_postsinfo['avatar']);
            $avatarinfowidth = $avatarinfo[0]/2;
            $avatarinfoheight = $avatarinfo[1]/2;
            $grps_postsinfo['avatar']="<imgsrc=\"$vboptions[bburl]/$grps_postsinfo[avatar]\"width=\"$avatarinfowidth\"height=\"$avatarinfoheight\" alt=\"avatar\"/>"; 


i'll check into imagecreatefromstring() now.
