getimagesize
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
getimagesize — Get the size of an image
Description
array getimagesize
( string $filename
[, array &$imageinfo
] )
getimagesize() can also return some more information
in imageinfo
parameter.
Note:
Note that JPC and JP2 are capable of having components with different
bit depths. In this case, the value for "bits" is the highest bit depth encountered. Also, JP2
files may contain multiple JPEG 2000 codestreams. In this case,
getimagesize() returns the values for the first
codestream it encounters in the root of the file.
Note:
The information about icons are retreived from the icon with the highest
bitrate.
Parameters
-
filename
-
This parameter specifies the file you wish to retrieve information
about. It can reference a local file or (configuration permitting) a
remote file using one of the supported streams.
-
imageinfo
-
This optional parameter allows you to extract some extended
information from the image file. Currently, this will return the
different JPG APP markers as an associative array.
Some programs use these APP markers to embed text information in
images. A very common one is to embed
» IPTC information in the APP13 marker.
You can use the iptcparse() function to parse the
binary APP13 marker into something readable.
Return Values
Returns an array with 7 elements.
Index 0 and 1 contains respectively the width and the height of the image.
Note:
Some formats may contain no image or may contain multiple images. In these
cases, getimagesize() might not be able to properly
determine the image size. getimagesize() will return
zero for width and height in these cases.
Index 2 is one of the IMAGETYPE_XXX constants indicating
the type of the image.
Index 3 is a text string with the correct
height="yyy" width="xxx" string that can be used
directly in an IMG tag.
mime is the correspondant MIME type of the image.
This information can be used to deliver images with correct the HTTP
Content-type header:
Example #1 getimagesize() and MIME types
<?php
$size = getimagesize($filename);
$fp = fopen($filename, "rb");
if ($size && $fp) {
header("Content-type: {$size['mime']}");
fpassthru($fp);
exit;
} else {
// error
}
?>
channels will be 3 for RGB pictures and 4 for CMYK
pictures.
bits is the number of bits for each color.
For some image types, the presence of channels and
bits values can be a bit
confusing. As an example, GIF always uses 3 channels
per pixel, but the number of bits per pixel cannot be calculated for an
animated GIF with a global color table.
On failure, FALSE is returned.
Errors/Exceptions
If accessing the filename
image is impossible, or
if it isn't a valid picture, getimagesize() will
generate an error of level E_WARNING. On read error,
getimagesize() will generate an error of level
E_NOTICE.
Examples
Example #2 getimagesize (file)
<?php
list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize("img/flag.jpg");
echo "<img src=\"img/flag.jpg\" $attr alt=\"getimagesize() example\" />";
?>
Example #3 getimagesize (URL)
<?php
$size = getimagesize("http://www.example.com/gifs/logo.gif");
// if the file name has space in it, encode it properly
$size = getimagesize("http://www.example.com/gifs/lo%20go.gif");
?>
Example #4 getimagesize() returning IPTC
<?php
$size = getimagesize("testimg.jpg", $info);
if (isset($info["APP13"])) {
$iptc = iptcparse($info["APP13"]);
var_dump($iptc);
}
?>
Notes
Note:
The getimagesize() function does not require the GD
image library.
