Are there any best practices or alternatives to getimagesize when server configuration restricts URL file-access?

When server configuration restricts URL file-access, the getimagesize function in PHP may not work properly as it requires access to the file via a URL. To work around this issue, you can use alternative methods such as downloading the image file to a temporary location on the server and then using getimagesize on the local file path. 

// Function to get image size from a local file path
function getImageSizeLocal($filePath) {
    $imageSize = getimagesize($filePath);
    return $imageSize;
}

// Example of how to use the function
$localFilePath = 'path/to/image.jpg';
$imageSize = getImageSizeLocal($localFilePath);
var_dump($imageSize);
