Bug #15760 Updated: GetImageSize: Read Error!

ID: 15760 Updated by: sander@php.net Reported By: mcclay@proqc.com.tw -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: GetImageSize related Operating System: Linux/Slackware 7.0 PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: Known behaviour, clearly documented at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.getimagesize.php "If accessing the filename image is impossible, or if it isn't a valid picture, getimagesize() will return NULL and generate a warning." Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-27 06:13:36] mcclay@proqc.com.tw $x=GetImageSize("/some/dir"); In versions of PHP 4.0 and lower if the object of GetImageSize it would not report an error. Just upgraded to 4.1.1 and now GetImageSize reports an error if the object is just a directory and not a file. Adding @GetImageSize takes care of the error. The reason I am bothering to write this bug report is that when I was trying to solve the problem I did a search at Google and saw that hundreds of pages on the net have this same problem, most likely many of them as a result of upgrading. In fact, this is not a bug. GetImageSize is reporting an error if it can't find the file. Unfortunately it's earlier behavior allowed people to be lazy using this function. They could use an object composed of variables, one being a directory and another a file. If both are met, the size array is returned, if not, nothing. But now, if not mean big "Read Error".
