There is a getimagesizefromstring function in PHP 5.4 but exif_imagetype is supposed to be much faster as it only needs to look at the first couple of bytes of the string to determine the image type. My problem is I can't really take advantage of the faster behavior because my image data is in a string, not in a file. Test script: --------------- <?php $extension = image_type_to_extension(exif_imagetypefromstring($bin_data)); // versus $tmpfile = tempnam('/tmp', 'upload'); file_put_contents($tmpfile, $bin_data); $extension = image_type_to_extension(exif_imagetype($tmpfile)); unlink($tmpfile); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62961&edit=1
