# getimagesize

(PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5)

getimagesize -- Get the size of an image

## Описание

array getimagesize ( string filename [, array &imageinfo] )

The getimagesize() function will determine the size of any given image file and return the dimensions along with the file type and a height/width text string to be used inside a normal HTML <IMG> tag and the correspondant HTTP content type.

getimagesize() can also return some more information in `imageinfo` parameter.

> Замечание: 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.

## Список параметров

`filename`

`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.

## Возвращаемые значения

Returns an array with 5 elements.

Index 0 and 1 contains respectively the width and the height of the image.

> Замечание: 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:

Пример 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. However, for some image types, the presence of these 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`.

## Список изменений

Версия | Описание
--- | ---
4.3.2 | Support for JPC, JP2, JPX, JB2, XBM, and WBMP became available.
4.3.2 | JPEG 2000 support was added for the `imageinfo` parameter.
4.3.0 | `bits` and `channels` are present for other image types, too.
4.3.0 | `mime` was added.
4.3.0 | Support for SWC was added.
4.2.0 | Support for TIFF was added.
4.0.5 | URL support was added.

## Примеры

Пример 2. getimagesize (file)

`<?php list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize("img/flag.jpg"); echo "<img src=\"img/flag.jpg\" $attr alt=\"getimagesize() example\" />"; ?>`

Пример 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"); ?>`

Пример 4. getimagesize() returning IPTC

`<?php
$size = getimagesize("testimg.jpg", $info);
if (isset($info["APP13"])) {
$iptc = iptcparse($info["APP13"]);
var_dump($iptc);
}
?>`

## Примечания

> Замечание: The getimagesize() function does not require the GD image library.

`I was trying to workaround with the problem of getting the mime type of the image from the raw data (the images data is stored in a database and the mime type is not known in advance). Since getimagesize requires a file name, there are some ways to deal with it:
1. call getimagesize with a URL which points to the image - this is too slow.
2. use PHP file i/o wrapper class.
3. use temporary files. The code for #3 could be as follows:
function getimagesize_raw($data){
$cwd = getcwd(); #get current working directory
$tempfile = tempnam("$cwd/tmp", "temp_image_");#create tempfile and return the path/name (make sure you have created tmp directory under $cwd
$temphandle = fopen($tempfile, "w");#open for writing
fwrite($temphandle, $data); #write image to tempfile
fclose($temphandle);
$imagesize = getimagesize($tempfile); #get image params from the tempfile
unlink($tempfile); // this removes the tempfile
return $imagesize;
}`

`In addition to thomporter's quick-reference of the output array, here's what PHP 4.4.0 does:
Array[0] = Width
Array[1] = Height
Array[2] = Image Type Flag
Array[3] = width="xxx" height="xxx"

`Every time I come here I'm bothered by the fact that there's no quick reference to the indexes of the array returned by this function. It's all wrapped up in a paragraph, hard to find. So, here it is:
Array[0] = Width

Array[2] = Image Type Flag
Array[3] = width="xxx" height="xxx"
Array[4] = channels (PHP >= 4.3.0)

Array[6] = mime (PHP >= 4.3.0)`

You can use GET parameter ($_GET["photo_url"]) as the function variable and when you will need to make some thumbnail, you can specify the path in the url of image... something like "<img src = "url/for/thumb_function_page.php?photo_url=photos/originals/image.jpg" ...>`

`Apparently appending $attr in the <img ...> tag will not render the image at all or render only a portion of the image under Safari and IE under certain circumstances.
I haven't figured out the exact circumstances, but I'm using XHTML 1.0 Transitional DTD, and the circumstances seem to depend on the rendering order of the page. The problem is due to the width="..." attribute in general, not the height="..." attribute.
To fix the problem, forget the $attr attribute and stick with the stylesheet:
<?php list($w, $h) = getimagesize("image.jpg") ?>
<img src="image.jpg" style="width: <?php=$w?>px; height: <?php=$h?>px;" />`

`For those of you who are confused about what the mime type IE displays image/pjpeg and other browsers image/jpeg and are building in checks for all of your scripts to tell the difference i would suggest using the getimagesize() mime results which will always be image/jpeg regardless what browser you use.
<?php
$info = getimagesize("image.jpg");
foreach($info as $key => $value) {
echo $key . ' - ' . $value . '<br />';

I used:

function getFileSizeH($filePath){
$blah = getimagesize($filePath);

`I was coming here to see if there was a simple way to get the height, width, and mime type of an image I have uploaded and while I thought the following code would work because it is printed above
<?php
list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize("img/flag.jpg");
?>
it didnt when I tried to echo out $type; so heres my fix, there may be a better way but it works for me!
<?php
$blah = getimagesize("folder/file.gif");
$type = $blah['mime'];
$width = $blah[0];
$height = $blah[1];
?>
and then you can just echo out one of the variables about to get whichever you would desire.`

`To: webmaster at theotherpixel dot com
I think the problem is that getimagesize() expects a valid path into the filesystem, so most probably you should use something like:
$ret = getimagesize('/home/whoever/public_html/images/filename');
of course, using the route which applies to your setup: '/usr/www/', whatever.

`WARNING:
I couldn't get getimagesize() to work when using certain arrays.
The solution was simple but easily overlooked:
When using an array and/or a .txt file,
to store & extract an image filename,
which getimagesize() should examine,
an almost unnoticable and unwanted space can exist !!!
(at the end of the string..)
Use rtrim($yourfilenamestring) to get rid of the space
that will block your getimagesize() operation.
example:
$a = getimagesize(rtrim($yourfilenamestring) ) ;
$a[0] will contain the width
$a[1] will contain the height

`If your image name has spaces in it you will need to use rawurlencode() and NOT urlencode() as this function (at least in 4.3.4) does not accept spaces as + signs.`

`This will not work for swf files unless zlib is compiled into php statically (not as a shared module). Bug #29611
As of PHP 5.0.0 it will just return false, but that should change to a notice by the next release.`

`--- Editor's Note:
It's easier to call on urlencode() or rawurlencode() to "fix" urls containing spaces and other characters that normally not well-liked.
---
You may have noticed that images with spaces WONT work with getimagesize - some of us have massive amounts of pictures, or don't feel like rewriting file names on users uploaded pictures- so here is a super fast fix that will replace the spaces once the image is called and will work with getimagesize flawlessly-
$image_new = "/pictures/$pic[picture]"; //PICTURE URL
$image_new = str_replace(' ','%20',$image_new); //REPLACE THE SPACES
Now you just call $image_new using getimagesize and you wont' have anymore problems.
On my site I take uploaded pictures from users - then resize them if they are over a certain width, here is the script i use if anyone would like to do this-
$image_new = "/pictures/$pic[picture]"; //url of picture
$image_new = str_replace(' ','%20',$image_new); //take url and replace spaces
$max_width= "480"; //maximum width allowed for pictures
$resize_width= "480"; //same as max width
$size = getimagesize("$image_new"); //get the actual size of the picture
$width= $size[0]; // get width of picture
$height= $size[1]; // get height of picture
if ($width>$max_width){
$new_width=$resize_width; // Resize Image If over max width
}else {
$new_width=$width; // Keep original size from array because smaller than max
}
echo "<IMG src=\"$image_new\" border=1 width=$new_width>" //print image with new width
Hope this helps anyone who wants some simple uses for getimagesize- check out my website to see it in action- vitalmodels.com`

`simm posted something interesting about imagick, but usually calling an external binary is not the best way.
You can use the Imagick PHP module . With it, you do not even need to get the image size to generate thubnails...
Here's the code I used :
<?php
$imh=imagick_readimage($image);
imagick_scale($imh,GALLERY_THUMBNAILWIDTH,GALLERY_THUMBNAILHEIGHT);
imagick_writeimage($imh,$image_thumb);
?>
(I noticed that some hosting companies are now providing the imagick module by default. Using it allows you to accept any type of image from your visitors. Maybe it will be documented on the official PHP website one day or another? )`

`The Problem:
I've just noticed that after upgrading to the PHP 4.3.4 version, the old GetImageSize() should get your attention on pages coded before this new version.
The solutions:
So, if you used GetImageSize(), you should now be using getimagesize() - attention to all lower caracters.
Also, you shou certify that the image realy exists, otherwhise you'll get the following error: getimagesize(): Read error!
This means that there is no image to "fill" the string and thus you're calling, for example: "images/news/" instead of calling "images/news/03102004a.jpg"
One should now verify if there is an image to be called (example):
if($photo1!=""){
$size1=getimagesize("images/news/".$photo_news_1"]);
$width1=$size1[0];
$height1=$size[1];
}
Here, if $photo_news_1 is set and exists it will be displayed, otherwhise it will be skiped and no ERROR message will be displayed. In the PHP 4.3.3 and earlier versions, this was not necessary but it is now! ;)`

`If you want to resize an image proportionally to fit within a given area, like I did, the following code might help you out.

`If you want to show thumbnails keeping the original proportions, with defined maximum width and height, you can use this function. This is useful when showing tables of user-uploaded images, that not necessarily are same-sized. However, for big images (like wallpapers), a better option is to create separated thumbnails with a image-editing software.
If the image is smaller or equal than the defined maximums, then it's showed without resizing. If not, creates a link to a pop-up that shows the full-size image.
<?php
function show_thumbnail($file)
{
$max = 200 // Max. thumbnail width and height
$size = getimagesize($file);
if ( $size[0] <= $max && $size[1] <= $max )
{
$ret = '<img src="'.$file.'" '.$size[3].' border="0">';
}
else
{
$k = ( $size[0] >= $size[1] ) ? $size[0] / $max : $size[1] / $max;
$ret = '<a href="javascript:;" onClick="window.open(\'image.php?img=';
$ret .= $file.'\',\'\',\'width='.$size[0];
$ret .= ',height='.$size[1].'\')">';
$ret .= '<img src="'.$file.'" width="'.floor($size[0]/$k).'" height="'.floor($size[1]/$k).'" border="0" alt="View full-size image"></a>';
}
return $ret;
}

<html>
<head>
<title>Image</title>
</head>
<body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0">
<?php echo ( is_file($_GET['img']) ) ? '<a href="#" onClick="window.close();"><img src="'.$_GET['img'].'" border="0" alt="Close window"></a>' : 'Invalid image filename, or no filename entered. <a href="#" onClick="window.close();">Close window</a>.' ?>

`here's a nice way of resizing user-uploaded files on the fly, using ImageMagick (on linux), but no GD:
<?
if( $image_info = getimagesize( "/upload_dir/" . $uploadName ) )
{
if( $image_info[ 0 ] > $defaultImgWidth )
{
exec( "mogrify -geometry " . $defaultImgWidth . " " . "/upload_dir/" . $uploadName . " &" );
}
}
?>
$defaultImgWidth would be the target width of the image -- note that the code above resizes the image without distorting its original proportions, and only if it is wider than $defaultImgWidth.
the ImageMagick syntax used above ("mogrify ..") overwrites the original file ($uploadName) with the resized image.`

`An additional note to "tightcode_nosp@m_hotmail":
If that doesn't work try this instead:
<?
$img = imagecreatefromjpeg ($filename);
$x = imagesx ($img);
$y = imagesy ($img);
imagedestroy ($img);
?>
Though keep in mind that this consumes lots of CPU. So if you're doing something like creating a page of thumbnails this is considerably slower.
So what you can do is use getimagesize() and check if
- the width and height are empty strings ("")
- and those two values aren't too high
Both indicate that getimagesize() didn't work properly. The latter may happen if getimagesize() thought that it recognized the format and therefore the size properly. I mean if you're looking at pictures that you know are max. 1024x768 and getimagesize() returns a width of e.g. 20234 then it's obvious that something went wrong. In that case use the code mentioned above. Of course if getimagesize() returned small values that are wrong you still get the wrong size. So check your pictures and priorities first.
So all of this could look like as follows:
<?
$picinfo = @getimagesize ($filename);
if ($picinfo !== false) {
$x = $picinfo [0];
$y = $picinfo [1];
}
// change this according the picture resolutions you're expecting
if ($x > 2000 || $y > 2000) $x = $y = "";
if ($x == "") {
$img = imagecreatefromjpeg ($filename);
$x = imagesx ($img);
$y = imagesy ($img);
imagedestroy ($img);
}
?>
Note: fix syntax stuff if there's an error as I compiled this example from a few places.
If you don't care about the huge load on your CPU or you have to rely on the proper size use the snippet noted at the beginning only.`

`For those that like to go the dynamic thumbnail route, I've found that you can get warnings with getimagesize() after your loop through more than 3 to 4 images. In my case I needed 12 images on each page.
Use usleep() in your loop just before you run getimagesize() otherwise you'll end up with warnings, big images and a broken page. Using usleep() lets the server recoup for X milliseconds so it will accept connections again for the image size.
I've found that usleep(1500) is the best for my situation. This barely slows the page down and allows for getimagesize() to work 100% of the time for me.`

`I figured others have wanted to scale an image to a particular height or width while preserving the height/width ratio. So here are the functions I wrote to accomplish this. Hopefully they'll save somebody else the five minutes it took to write these.
You give the filename and the dimension you want to use, and these functions return the opposite dimension:
function scale_to_height ($filename, $targetheight) {
$size = getimagesize($filename);
$targetwidth = $targetheight * ($size[0] / $size[1]);
return $targetwidth;
}
function scale_to_width ($filename, $targetwidth) {
$size = getimagesize($filename);
$targetheight = $targetwidth * ($size[1] / $size[0]);
return $targetheight;

`For those of you trying to derive the dimensions of a video file (e.g. Video for Windows AVI, Quicktime MOV, MPEG MPG, Windows Media Video WMV or ASF, etc.), you will find the getid3 library to be indispensible. Found at http://getid3.sourceforge.net, here's an example of its use in a script:
include_once('getid3.php'); // or wherever you actually put the getid3 scripts
$file_location = './myvideo.avi';
$file_info = GetAllFileInfo($file_location) // calls getid3 function
$file_width = $file_info['video']['resolution_x'];
$file_height = $file_info['video']['resolution_y'];
You can then use your OBJECT and EMBED tags in HTML to put the video into a web page, and make the PHP template independent of the size parameters of the particular video it happens to be loading. (Just remember to add pixels to the video height to accomodate the controller of the embedded player: typically, 16 pixels for Quicktime, 46 pixels for Windows Media Player 6, and 64 pixels for Windows Media Player 7.`

`Really useful info from webmasterb@feartheclown.com and you others :-)
Saved my butt...
Here's a build on that, with proportional resizing of the image-upload ($newpic) to a fixed value ($maxwidth):
$maxwidth = "350";
$imagehw = GetImageSize($newpic);
$imagewidth = $imagehw[0];
$imageheight = $imagehw[1];
$imgorig = $imagewidth;
if ($imagewidth > $maxwidth {
$imageprop=($maxwidth*100)/$imagewidth;
$imagevsize= ($imageheight*$imageprop)/100 ;
$imagewidth=$maxwidth;
$imageheight=ceil($imagevsize);
}
Of course this does not resize the image itself, but returns values one may use in html-code to restrain users from killing your design...
