Description:
------------
It appears that certain settings in the htaccess file will produce unexpected results if an app is using getimagesize(). This issue may have a bearing on the zero height/width issues reported elsewhere.
The app I've been working on is a random picture gallery. The PHP code using getimagesize() looks like this:
$maxwidth =180; //modify this figure to suit
$imagehw = getimagesize($image[$r]);
$imagewidth = $imagehw[0];
$imageheight = $imagehw[1];
if ($imagewidth>$maxwidth) {
$imageprop = ($maxwidth*100)/$imagewidth;
$imagevsize = ($imageheight*$imageprop)/100;
$imagewidth = $maxwidth;
$imageheight = ceil($imagevsize);
}
[$r] is an image in an array. The rest of the code auto-resizes the image and maintains a constant aspect ratio.
Looking over my web access logs in get this:
web host IP address - - [06/Dec/2003:02:14:52 -0600] "GET /images_dir/some_sub_dir/IMG_2581.jpg HTTP/1.0" 403 - "-" "-"
ISP's IP address - - [06/Dec/2003:02:14:53 -0600] "GET /images_dir/some_sub_dir/IMG_2581.jpg HTTP/1.0" 304 - "http://www.xxx.com/some_dir/s0me_page.php" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; Q312461)"
Note the "403 - access denied" in the first line.
In my htaccess file I have the following:
# Forbid if blank (or "-") Referer *and* UA
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^-?$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^-?$
RewriteRule .* - [F]
These lines forbid/ban blank referrers and UA's.
As far as I can understand and thus, now assume, while using getimagesize, the web host's server does a "GET" to get the image before passing it to the code and then serving it to the browser. While doing the "GET" - and because it's an "internal process" - there would be no need for a UA. The htaccess file picks this up and issues a 403. The image reference is then passed to the browser but no image appears. Well, its does but appears as a pixel dot. No error warnings or notices are produced with this error.
I have tried adding the following line to the htaccess file to try and by-pass this issue:
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDRESS} !^xxx\.xxx\.xxx\.xxx$
xxx being the host IP address. Have had NO success with this so far.
Expected result:
----------------
With these lines removed from my htaccess file:
# Forbid if blank (or "-") Referer *and* UA
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^-?$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^-?$
RewriteRule .* - [F]
this is what I get in my web access logs:
web host IP address - - [05/Dec/2003:22:11:10 -0600] "GET /images/some sub_dir/IMG_2295.jpg HTTP/1.0" 200 49254 "-" "-"
ISP's IP address - - [05/Dec/2003:22:11:11 -0600] "GET /images/some sub_dir/IMG_2295.jpg HTTP/1.0" 304 - "http://www.xxx.com/some_dir/some_page.php" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; Q312461)"
Note the "200" passed on each line. In other words, the app works as designed
Actual result:
--------------
With the above htaccess RewriteCond in place, this is what I get at the browser end:
<img src="http://www.xxx.com/images_dir/some_sub_dir/IMG_3235.jpg" width="" height="" alt="This is a Random Image" />
Note the empty width and height parameters.

Always check that getimagesize() actually succeeded.. (I assume it fails now due the fact that you do a remote request from the same server to the same server) And as RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDRESS} !^xxx\.xxx\.xxx\.xxx$, makes it work, there is no bug here. Hint: Try putting 'error_reporting(E_ALL);' or set it in your php.ini and you'll see the actual error message..In response to my bug report I get this reply: <--begins--> Always check that getimagesize() actually succeeded..

The original report appears to have "taxed" the attention span of some. Please read and read again - inserting the "RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDRESS} !^xxx\.xxx\.xxx\.xxx$" DOES NOT make this application work. Repeat - DOES NOT. In order to get this application using getimagesize() to work I have to remove the RewriteCond blocking blank referrers and UA's. As for the part about "same server to the same server". I guess its all in the code. Its also in the report. I wrote the app as part of copy and paste operation. As for the workflow and the way it works, it wasn't really a concern until now. All I now know, is that if I put in the RewriteCond affecting blank referrers/UA's the app doesn't work. Take it out and it works. How and why isn't my problem, that's for the powers that be at PHP. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
