Description:
------------
I have wrapped an executable inside an image which has the following content -

GIF89a<?php
echo 'hacked';
?>

and saved it as filename image.gif.

Whene I use getimagesize() PHP function then it returns

array:6 [▼
  0 => 16188
  1 => 26736
  2 => 1
  3 => "width="16188" height="26736""
  "channels" => 3
  "mime" => "image/gif"
]

although image is not valid but still it has valid width and height.

From the manual[1]:

| This function expects filename to be a valid image file. If a
| non-image file is supplied, it may be incorrectly detected as an
| image and the function will return successfully.

This notice should better be moved to a more prominent place, and be
improved. So I'm changing to doc-bug.

We promote the respective notice to a caution, move it up, and explain
that the returned array may contain nonsense.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
