I need to upload an animated/nonanimated GIF file in to my site.
And display it in another page.
So I want to know whether it is possible.
First I want to know whether the image is animated or not?
If it is not animated I want to add water mark
If so how can we display it in my second page.
I did it using our conventional GD method
BUt the animated effect lost

As far as I know, an animated gif looks the same as a non-animated one, file-wise. Can you add a little checkbox that says "Check here if animated" or something? Not sure what your purpose is, but I don't believe a section of code can figure out if a gif is animated or not.

when a user uploads a animated file make sure the file has a swf exstention then do a check
aginst the exstention of swf with regular exspesion.

ZeBadger from the php.net comments pages wrote the following function to check if a gif is animated or not. I have not tested it, but from looking at the code it is to be executed on a *NIX based machine, although it could be adapted to work with a Windows one, or even make it OS independant.

[code]<?php
function is_ani($filename){
    $filecontents=file_get_contents($filename);
    $str_loc=0;
    $count=0;
    while ($count < 2) { # There is no point in continuing after we find a 2nd frame
        $where1=strpos($filecontents,"\x00\x21\xF9\x04",$str_loc);
        if ($where1 === FALSE) {
            break;
        } else {
            $str_loc=$where1+1;
            $where2=strpos($filecontents,"\x00\x2C",$str_loc);
            if ($where2 === FALSE) {
                break;
            } else {
                if ($where1+8 == $where2) {
                    $count++;
                }
                $str_loc=$where2+1;
            }
        }
    }
    if ($count > 1) {
        return(true);
    } else {
        return(false);
    }
}

exec("ls *gif" ,$allfiles)
foreach ($allfiles as $thisfile) {
    if (is_ani($thisfile)) {
        echo "$thisfile is animated<BR>\n";
    } else {
        echo "$thisfile is NOT animated<BR>\n";
    }
}
?>[/code]
I dropped the semi-colon from the exec() line as it was causing issues posting.

dude... .swf is a flash file extension, not a gif file. a gif file is just that - blah.gif.

How can I create a thumbnail for animated image with animated effect?
