note 58685 added to function.image-type-to-extension

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. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.image-type-to-extension.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+58685 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58685&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58685&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58685&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58685&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58685&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58685&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58685&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+58685&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
