I've been meaning to post a reply to a problem I ran into a while back
that included validating images with getimagesize(). I've seen a few
posts from folks saying this is the way to go and just want to share my
experiences.
My original problem was that a script I had for batch generating
thumbnails from uploaded images was running out of memory. With Richard
Lynch's help I was able to track the problem to createimagefromjpeg()
using an unholy amount of memory on one particular file, a file that
had passed through getimagesize() with no problems.
What I found was that if an image ( in this case a jpeg ) is corrupted,
but just barely, getimagesize() will let it through. Just for the
record I could open it up in Photoshop and that's how I discovered that
it was corrupted, the last ten or fifteen rows on the image were gone.
Photoshop showed an uncompressed file size of 11M for this image. But
what I had to end up doing is setting my memory limit to 48M before
createimagefromjpeg() could get enough memory to work with that it
finally failed.
Just a heads up to anyone that's using getimagesize() to verify an
image before running it through createimagefromjpeg(), just because it
passes getimagesize() doesn't necessarily mean it's a good image.
