ID: 20822 Comment by: tit.petric@telemach.net Reported By: tit.petric@telemach.net Status: Assigned Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: linux PHP Version: 4.2.3 Assigned To: john New Comment: didnt read the other email's :) anyway returning false on everything and removing that E_ERROR does the trick :) thanks php team! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-05 03:34:16] tit.petric@telemach.net unless getimagesize() started to take more than one parameter, i have everything necessery i pretty much get an error if the filesize of the file is 0 bytes, and get NULL if the file is not an image (maybe i dont get it always - but the plaintext files i tried always returned NULL for me the manual should specify the result as NULL or FALSE, but i dont think your comment here is correct - atleast not to my testing. perhaps if you replace null with false, and vice versa, because i do get null with valid parameters. cheers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-05 01:42:08] iliaa@php.net getimagesize() returns NULL only in one case and that being if invalid parameters are passed to the functions. For example calling getimagesize() without any parameters. Invalid files and so on, result in the documentated FALSE return value. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-04 20:54:17] tit.petric@telemach.net maybe its also worth mentioning that getimagesize() spews out an error if the filesize() of the file is 0 bytes :/ - this isnt so nice :/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-04 20:47:55] tit.petric@telemach.net cutting out from the php manual: If accessing the filename image is impossible, or if it isn't a valid picture, getimagesize() will return FALSE and generate a warning. ... when getimagesize() in fact returns NULL (atleast in 4.2.3 (debian unstable tree)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20822&edit=1
