exif_imagetype
(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5) exif_imagetype -- Determine the type of an image Descriptionint exif_imagetype ( string filename )
exif_imagetype() reads the first bytes of an image and
checks its signature.
exif_imagetype() can be used to avoid calls to other
exif functions with unsupported file types
or in conjunction with $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'] to check
whether or not the viewer is able to see a specific image in the browser.
Parameters
- filename
The image being checked.
Return Values
When a correct signature is found, the appropriate constant value will be
returned otherwise the return value is FALSE. The return value is the
same value that getimagesize() returns in index 2 but
exif_imagetype() is much faster.
