determine image information on image stored in MySQL BLOB

[kristofl]

Hi all,

I store images in my DB as BLOB. When I want to place them in an html
table, I want to determine the width of the image in order to asign the
correct width to the column inside table.
For JPEGs this is working fine, this is my code:

$image = @imagecreatefromstring($r["foto"]);
return @imagesx($image);

where $r["foto"] is the field selected from the db which contains the image.

For GIFs however, its getting really on my nerves !!
I know imagecreatefromstring is not supported in gd2 and I tried several
thinks. None of them worked ! :
-
$temp = tmpfile();
list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize($temp);
echo $attr;

gives me :Warning: getimagesize: Unable to open 'Resource id #6' for reading
-
$handle = fopen("/tmp/tmp.dat", "w+");
fwrite($handle, $r["foto"]);
list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize($handle);
echo $attr;

gives me : Warning: getimagesize: Unable to open 'Resource id #6' for
reading
-

Doing this with imagecreatefromgif($temp); wont work either !


Can somebody help me out please? by telling me what I'm doing wrong or what
I should do.


Regards,


Kristof

Two things I'd try...

<?
$temp = tmpfile();
$tmpArray = getimagesize($temp);
foreach($tmpArray as $key=>$value)
{ print("<br>$key = $value"); }
?>

Compare the output for jpegs, gifs, png images for the hell of it and see if
there is a difference in the output above.


And... just for the hell of it - if the above doesn't work, try and close
after you created the tmp file... thus

<?
$handle = fopen("/tmp/tmp.dat", "w+");
fwrite($handle, $r["foto"]);
fclose($handle); // You don't need fopen for getimagesize to work

list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize($handle);
echo $attr;
?>


Drop another byte and let us know if either of the above work/fail for
you...

None of the above worked, I'm still trying. Any ideas?
