Re: MIME file and gd

Hi,

The best way to get the image type is exif_imagetype. If you don't
have that you can also use getimagesize.

Now, if you want a general way to convert between image types, the
easiest is to use the convert command that comes with ImageMagick.
Here's a function to convert many image types:

<?

function imConvert($path, $newPath)
{
$cmd = 'convert ' . escapeshellarg($path) . ' ' .
escapeshellarg($newPath) . ' 2>&1';
exec($cmd, $output, $exitCode);
if ($exitCode != 0) {
throw new Exception("Command \"$cmd\" failed with " .
"exit code $exitCode: " . join("\n", $output));
}
}

$path = dirname(__FILE__) . '/img.gif';
$newPath = dirname(__FILE__) . '/im.jpg';
imConvert($path, $newPath);

?>

You can also use GD to do this. To convert from GIF to JPEG, you would
call imagecreatefromgif then imagejpeg.

Hello group,

I'm uploading some image files such as jpeg, png and gif. However, I
must convert time to jpeg type. I have few questions:

1) Can I convert time in using gd library?

2) Currently, I check the MIME file to see what is holding (thanks to
Michael ) like image/jpg or image/gif or image/png. But what should be
the criteria? I'm checking:

if ($img_array_info[mime] == "image/jpg" {
...
}

However, there are some files that rather image/jpg they have image/
jpeg as mime in their headers. Should I compare it agaisnt these two
criteria or there are other things I have to consider too?

Thanks,
Amit

Currently I'm doing this:

if ( (strcasecmp($array_img_information[mime], "image/jpg") == 0 ) ||
(strcasecmp($array_img_information[mime], "image/jpeg") == 0 ) )
{
echo "<br>OK, jpeg file<br>";}

else
{
echo "<br>$array_img_information[mime]<br>";
echo "<br>Not a jpeg file must conver it!<br>";

}

Is this a proper way or ....?

Thanks again.
