maybe its also worth mentioning that getimagesize() spews out an error if the filesize() of the file is 0 bytes :/ - this isnt so nice :/

getimagesize() returns NULL only in one case and that being if invalid parameters are passed to the functions. For example calling getimagesize() without any parameters. Invalid files and so on, result in the documentated FALSE return value.

unless getimagesize() started to take more than one parameter, i have everything necessery

i pretty much get an error if the filesize of the file is 0 bytes, and get NULL if the file is not an image (maybe i dont get it always - but the plaintext files i tried always returned NULL for me

the manual should specify the result as NULL or FALSE, but i dont think your comment here is correct - atleast not to my testing. perhaps if you replace null with false, and vice versa, because i do get null with valid parameters.

cheers

didnt read the other email's :) anyway

returning false on everything and removing that E_ERROR does the trick :)

thanks php team!

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

In 4.2.3 there was just another possibility to return NULL. Now all current versions (4.2.3-cvs, 4.3.0-cvs, cvs) return FALSE in *every* case. If someone does not want the error messages from file in/output start another bugreport please. But i suggest to have them in because they show the reason why GetImagesize() fails. At least until we output specific messages inside image.c itself.
