exif_thumbnail
Retrieve the embedded thumbnail of an image
Description
stringfalse exif_thumbnail(
resourcestring $file
,
int &$width
= null
,
int &$height
= null
,
int &$image_type
= null
)
If you want to deliver thumbnails through this function, you should send
the mimetype information using the header function.
It is possible that exif_thumbnail cannot create an
image but can determine its size. In this case, the return value is
false
but width
and height
are set.
Parameters
-
file
-
The location of the image file. This can either be a path to the file
or a stream resource.
-
width
-
The return width of the returned thumbnail.
-
height
-
The returned height of the returned thumbnail.
-
image_type
-
The returned image type of the returned thumbnail. This is either
TIFF or JPEG.
Return Values
Returns the embedded thumbnail, or false
if the image contains no
thumbnail.
Examples
Example #1 exif_thumbnail example
<?php
$image = exif_thumbnail('/path/to/image.jpg', $width, $height, $type);
if ($image!==false) {
header('Content-type: ' .image_type_to_mime_type($type));
echo $image;
exit;
} else {
// no thumbnail available, handle the error here
echo 'No thumbnail available';
}
?>
Notes
Note:
If the file
is used to pass a stream to this function, then the stream
must be seekable. Note that the file pointer position is not changed after this function returns.
