imagecreatefromstring - errort test never fails??? [message #182473] Tue, 06 August 2013 21:02 Go to previous message

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?
