getimagesize

I am having trouble using the PHP function getimagesize. This is the error I get.

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: getimagesize(http://georgerobbo.dyndns.org/yellowdogy...sirens.jpg) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: No route to host
Filename: views/single.php
Line Number: 7

Code:

<?php $span = base_url() . "public/uploads/" . $a['filename'] . ".jpg"; $span = getimagesize($span); ?>
                <?php echo $span; ?>

I am currently working on an image related site and was curious so ran some tests. The first time I tried getimagesize(...); worked fine, I tried on another browseer and it did not work so I tried to just open the image and it timed out.

Fortunately the original image was still open in the first browser I tried. I downloaded the image to my desktop then uploaded to one of my sites. It now works everytime so it looks as though you have a problem with your site hosting. Can I interest you in site hosting
