note 58685 deleted from function.image-type-to-extension by sobak

Note Submitter: oridan at hotmail dot com ---- i used your code in the following to open different types of files depending on their 'type' (or rather, extension). the eval simply creates <? // make sure you initialize $filename as the path to the image you want to load/create list(,,$type) = getimagesize($filename); $type = image_type_to_extension($type); eval("global \$filename; \$source = imagecreatefrom$type(\$filename);"); global $source; ?> $source is then the var you can play with. saved me a big switch statement calling different "imagecreatefromjpg"/"imagecreatefromgif" functions just to do the one simple task.... open an image of varying types.
