exif_imagetype — Determine the type of an image

Description

exif_imagetype ( string $filename ) : int

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.

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.

Note:

exif_imagetype() will emit an E_NOTICE and return FALSE if it is unable to read enough bytes from the file to determine the image type.
