From my point of view accessing a file should result in an error if the file cannot be opened or in case of GetImageSize() a file operation cannot be executed. For example i would expect GetImageSize() to show an error if the information cannot be retrieved due to file corruptions.

I agree. Absolutely. Masking bona fide file operation errors would be a huge mistake, IMHO. I personally dissagree here - an error is a bit harsh if it doesn't hinder execution - I dont see anything in getimagesize() which should return E_ERROR - only E_NOTICE if the file is corrupt, unless I'm missing something.

If you don't want to see the filesystem error use @ to hide them. Having filesystem errors available makes troubleshooting easier. If GetImageSize never returns them, how do you figure out what is wrong when you it returns false? Rick
