getimagesize()

[al3x8730]

So anyways I was making a dynamic image to display some of my website's stats that I can then display on my forum signature somewhere. I got it working, then I noticed that it wouldn't work since it was a .php extension the image, so I used .htaccess to fix this. Then I tried again and it said that it couldn't determine the dimensions of the image. I believe this: http://us2.php.net/getimagesize will be able to help, if so can you show me the right way to use it, if not, then say so.

 

How do I use this function, I found the tutorial, but I need help x.x

getimagesize returns an array which holds the width and height of the image referenced, eg

 

 echo '<pre>' . print_r(getimagesize('path/to/image.jpg'), true) . '</pre>';

$sizes = getimagesize("images/image.jpg");

$width = $sizes[0];
$height = $sizes[1];

@waynewex:  You can shorten that to:

<?php
list($width, $height) = getimagesize("images/image.jpg");
