Quick help with exif_read_data. Take a look at my script.

[man5]

Originally I had an issue with images not oriented correctly when uploading from smartphone(iphone). So I used exif_read_data function to fix it. It orients the images properly now.

 

Now the new issue that came with it is that if I am uploading a portrait image from iphone, it will be cut off at the bottom and on the right side. To fill the gap on the right side, it'll show a black background. I've attached a pic to show you.  Can anyone tell me how I can fix it?

 

Here is my code.

// Uploading image with resize and crop.	
	if (isset($_FILES['image'])) {
	
		if (empty($_FILES['image']['name'])) {
		
				?><div class="add-errors">Please choose an image!</div><?php 
				
		}	else {
			
			
			function getOrientedImage($imagePath){
				$image = imagecreatefromstring(file_get_contents($imagePath));
				$exif = exif_read_data($imagePath);
				if(!empty($exif['Orientation'])) {
					switch($exif['Orientation']) {
						case 8:
							$image = imagerotate($image,90,0);
							break;
						case 3:
							$image = imagerotate($image,180,0);
							break;
						case 6:
							$image = imagerotate($image,-90,0);
							break;
					}
				}
				return $image;
			}
			
			$name 		=	$_FILES['image']['name'];
			$temp 		=	$_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
			$type		=	$_FILES['image']['type'];
			$size		=	$_FILES['image']['size'];
			$ext 		=	strtolower(end(explode('.', $name)));
			$size2		=	getimagesize($temp);
			$width 		=	$size2[0];
			$height 	=	$size2[1];
			$upload 	=	md5( rand( 0, 1000 ) . rand( 0, 1000 ) . rand( 0, 1000 ) . rand( 0, 1000 ));
			
			// Restrictions for uploading
			$maxwidth	=	6000;
			$maxheight	=	6000;
			$allowed	=	array('image/jpeg', 'image/jpg', 'image/png', 'image/gif');
			
			// Recognizing the extension

			}

			// upload variables
			$path			=   $userDir . $upload . $ext;
			$thumb_path		=   $userDir . 'thumb_' . $upload . $ext;
				
			// check if extension is allowed.
