What kind of file types does PHP getimagesize() return?

Question

Does anyone know all the possible results for the 3rd value returned from PHP's getimagesize() function? Example this code below will return:

• $imageinfo['2'] = 2; for a jpg image,
• $imageinfo['2'] = 3; for a png image,
• $imageinfo['2'] = 0; for a gif image.

The numbers might not be correct above but you get the idea.

I can't find on php.net or anywhere else a list of all possible results for the 3rd value.

$imageinfo = getimagesize($imageurl);
$image_type  = $imageinfo['2'];

Answer 1

Execute this:

print_r(get_defined_constants());

And then look for constants prefixed with IMAGETYPE_. On my PHP 5.3 installation I got these values:

[IMAGETYPE_GIF] => 1
[IMAGETYPE_JPEG] => 2
[IMAGETYPE_PNG] => 3
[IMAGETYPE_SWF] => 4
[IMAGETYPE_PSD] => 5
[IMAGETYPE_BMP] => 6
[IMAGETYPE_TIFF_II] => 7
[IMAGETYPE_TIFF_MM] => 8
[IMAGETYPE_JPC] => 9
[IMAGETYPE_JP2] => 10
[IMAGETYPE_JPX] => 11
[IMAGETYPE_JB2] => 12
[IMAGETYPE_SWC] => 13
[IMAGETYPE_IFF] => 14
[IMAGETYPE_WBMP] => 15
[IMAGETYPE_JPEG2000] => 9
[IMAGETYPE_XBM] => 16
[IMAGETYPE_ICO] => 17
[IMAGETYPE_UNKNOWN] => 0
[IMAGETYPE_COUNT] => 18

As you can see Flash SWF are considered images, and actually getimagesize() is able to read the width and height of a SWF object. To me it seemed like a curiosity when I first discovered it, that's why mentioned it here.

Answer 2

That index contains the value of one of PHP's IMAGETYPE_XXX constants . An entire list of them can be found on that page, towards the bottom. That page doesn't provide the actual INT value of each one but you should be able to print a few to get the values as necessary. You could also do a comparison check if you're looking for a specific one:

if ($imageinfo[2] == IMAGETYPE_IFF) {
  // Code here
}

Answer 3

As previously mentioned constants which start with IMAGETYPE in get_defined_constants() list supported image types.

However, if you Just run this and it will tell you which ones are supported:

function imageTypes () {

    $imageTypes = array();

    foreach(get_defined_constants() as $key => $value){
        $keyStart = explode('_', $key);
        if($keyStart[0] == 'IMAGETYPE'){
             array_push($imageTypes, $key);
        }
    }
    return $imageTypes;
}

echo "<pre>";
var_dump(imageTypes());
echo "</pre>";

Answer 4

Quoting the manual :

Index 2 is one of the IMAGETYPE_XXX constants indicating the type of the image.

And you can find those constants onh this page , amongst the other defined by GD

Answer 5

getimagesize返回以下IMAGETYPE_*常量之一的值。

Answer 6

If you want to convert value returned by getimagesize() as index 2 into something more human-readable, you may consider using a function like this one:

$imageTypeArray = array
(
    0=>'UNKNOWN',
    1=>'GIF',
    2=>'JPEG',
    3=>'PNG',
    4=>'SWF',
    5=>'PSD',
    6=>'BMP',
    7=>'TIFF_II',
    8=>'TIFF_MM',
    9=>'JPC',
    10=>'JP2',
    11=>'JPX',
    12=>'JB2',
    13=>'SWC',
    14=>'IFF',
    15=>'WBMP',
    16=>'XBM',
    17=>'ICO',
    18=>'COUNT'  
);

$size = getimagesize($filename);

$size[2] = $imageTypeArray[$size[2]];

Or something similar.

Answer 7

The above referred pages on the image constants only give the image constant names , not the integers stored in the image constants. The scripts above do give the integers, but I found a listing of the integers on an official PHP manual page at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exif-imagetype.php

Answer 8

请注意，在某些情况下， getimagesize失败时会返回false 。例如，对于您可能不期望的svn对象，就会发生这种情况。
