I have used this as follows
$im=imagecreatefromstring($code);
if($im != FALSE)
{
// resize what's in $code into a thumbnail for use in the database
}
else
// insert an arbitrary thumbnail that represents 'not actually an
image at all'
HOWEVER
If it is a recognisable image, really good thumbnails are created
BUT
if it is NOT an image. the code never executes the 'else' clause and I
just get errors like this
PHP Warning: imagecreatefromstring(): Data is not in a recognized format
in the logs. and three bytes of rubbish ( the string INF) in the
thumbnail!! (INvalid Format? ??)
The manual clearly seems to state that imagecreatefromstring() will
return FALSE if it fails to ID a valid image. NOT spit out an error.
"Return Values
An image resource will be returned on success. *|FALSE|* is returned if
the image type is unsupported, the data is not in a recognised format,
or the image is corrupt and cannot be loaded."
I have tried !=FALSE and !== FALSE with no effect.
Is this a bug, or just me being dumb?
I cant believe it has gone unnoticed if its a bug surely?

scrub that. the error is in the else clause, which IS being executed
