PHP - GetImageSize()

Question

I'm trying to use the getimagesize() function on an image uploading script. Sometimes, on certain images, I get an error. So I tried to investigate.

I used an image which seems to work, edited it with paint.exe, and saved it as a new jpg image.

When I look at the $_FILES[], I get this :

Original :

$_FILES : array(2) {
  ["thumb_a_uploader"]=> array(5) {
    ["name"]=> string(8) "1212.jpg"
    ["type"]=> string(10) "image/jpeg"
    ["tmp_name"]=> string(14) "/tmp/phprZ2H8G"
    ["error"]=> int(0)
    ["size"]=> int(90281)
  }

Edited :

$_FILES : array(2) {
  ["thumb_a_uploader"]=> array(5) {
    ["name"]=> string(16) "1212 - Copy.jpg"
    ["type"]=> string(0) ""
    ["tmp_name"]=> string(0) ""
    ["error"]=> int(2)
    ["size"]=> int(0)
  }

And for the edited one, the imagetype was wiped. I have the same problem with a picture taken with a smartphone.

Any ideas ?

You need to pay attention to ["error"].

["error"]=>
int(2)

 UPLOAD_ERR_FORM_SIZE

Value: 2; The uploaded file exceeds the MAX_FILE_SIZE directive that was specified in the HTML form.
