note 59831 added to function.getimagesize

It could be true! Getimagesize cannot read images in directories that are really symbolic links. In the following example the directory "images" is a symlink: lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 38 Dec 17 00:17 images -> ../otherimages/ ...and when trying to load an image: /home/user/docroot/images/file.jpg ...getimagesize() throws an error: "Warning: getimagesize(): Read error! in /home/user/docroot/script.php on line 99" ...even though the image exists, as dictated by file_exists() and is_readable(): <?php if (file_exists($file_path) && is_readable($file_path)) { $img_size = getimagesize($file_path); printf('<img src="/images/%s" %s />', basename($file_path), $img_size[3]); } ?> Wassup!
