ok so, Im building a fancy pants wordpress theme and part of the theme has php getting image widths and using those numbers to resize page elements. It works fine on my local machine, but when I put the theme on my hosted server using cpanel, it doesnt work.
I get this error
Warning: getimagesize() [function.getimagesize]: http:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_fopen=0 in /home/yoursite/public_html/wpsite/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/styles/login.php on line 7
Warning: getimagesize(http://yoursite.com/wpsite/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/logo1.png) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/yoursite/public_html/wpsite/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/styles/login.php on line 7
SO I thought if I made a php.ini file in the wordpress's root directory with this in it:
[PHP]
allow_url_fopen = 1
That would work, but it wont.
Is there anyway to get this to work?

Try to add this code to your .htaccess file:
If it does not work, you will need ask your hosting provider about your php.ini file location, if it exists. If it does not, ask them to set this up for you in global php.ini file. Usually it's /etc/php.ini
