Note that animated gifs may have frames width different dimensions. This function will not get the first frame's width/height. GIFs define "Logical Screen Descriptor" dimensions, which are the maximum for all frames.

To get the screen descriptor dimensions, use:

<?php
$header = unpack('@6/vwidth/vheight', $binaryData);
// $header['width'] and $header['width'];

I wanted to use getimagesize() on .SWF files stored in the database as blob data and couldn't find a simple solution, so I created my own.

I am releasing this code under the MIT license to save everyone some time:

    This code is released under the MIT License.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    [Summary]

    A simple class for PHP functions to read and write blob data as a file
    using a stream wrapper.

    Particularly useful for running getimagesize() to get the width and
    height of .SWF Flash files that are stored in the database as blob data.

    Tested on PHP 5.3.10.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------    
    [Usage Example]

    //Include
        include('./blob_data_as_file_stream.php');

    //Register the stream wrapper
        stream_wrapper_register("BlobDataAsFileStream", "blob_data_as_file_stream");

    //Fetch a .SWF file from the Adobe website and store it into a variable.
    //Replace this with your own fetch-swf-blob-data-from-database code.
        $swf_url = 'http://www.adobe.com/swf/software/flash/about/flashAbout_info_small.swf';
        $swf_blob_data = file_get_contents($swf_url);
    
    //Store $swf_blob_data to the data stream
        blob_data_as_file_stream::$blob_data_stream = $swf_blob_data;
    
    //Run getimagesize() on the data stream
        $swf_info = getimagesize('BlobDataAsFileStream://');
        var_dump($swf_info);

Here is the function which determines whether the PNG image contains alpha or not:

<?php
function is_alpha_png($fn){
  return (ord(@file_get_contents($fn, NULL, NULL, 25, 1)) == 6);
}
?>

The color type of PNG image is stored at byte offset 25. Possible values of that 25'th byte is:
 * 0 - greyscale
 * 2 - RGB
 * 3 - RGB with palette
 * 4 - greyscale + alpha
 * 6 - RGB + alpha

One more reason of "Error: getimagesize(): Read error!" may be an zero file size. Check the file size first with function filesize( $file ).

kumarldh at gmail dot com (2011-03-14 01:44:37)

I spent quite a time and realised one needs "allow_url_fopen" turned on to be able to use getimagesize(). Hope this help others.

Jesus Zamora (2011-02-13 06:20:01)

Returns a array with 4 elements.
The 0 index is the width of the image in pixels.
The 1 index is the height of the image in pixels.
The 2 index is a flag for the image type:
1 = GIF, 2 = JPG, 3 = PNG, 4 = SWF, 5 = PSD, 6 = BMP, 7 = TIFF(orden de bytes intel), 8 = TIFF(orden de bytes motorola), 9 = JPC, 10 = JP2, 11 = JPX, 12 = JB2, 13 = SWC, 14 = IFF, 15 = WBMP, 16 = XBM.
The 3 index contains ' height="yyy" width="xxx" '

Here's a simple way to resize your images based on a percentage.

<?php

$image_path = "images/your_image.png";

list($width, $height, $type, $attr)= getimagesize($image_path); 

//specify what percentage you are resizing to
$percent_resizing = 80;

$new_width = round((($percent_resizing/100)*$width));
$new_height = round((($percent_resizing/100)*$height));

echo '<img src="'.$image_path.'" height="'.$new_height.'" width="'.$new_width.'">';

Urchin (2011-02-08 13:00:49)

On a Debian machine I had a lot of Notices in my log because the system did not understand spaces. While the str_replace and rawurlencode options are ok for remote images, for the local system it is of no use.
I used the following:
getimagesize('"'.$location.'"');
so basically I quoted the location (single_quot-dubble_quote-single_quote).

A simple method to resize a image keeping the constraint proportions:

<?php
// Constraints
$max_width = 100;
$max_height = 100;
list($width, $height) = getimagesize($img_path);
$ratioh = $max_height/$height;
$ratiow = $max_width/$width;
$ratio = min($ratioh, $ratiow);
// New dimensions
$width = intval($ratio*$width);
$height = intval($ratio*$height);
?>

@hill79 (2010-02-18 07:57:09)

I needed to find image dimensions for use in some dynamic css, since getimagesize() returns width="x" height="y" at index 3 I had to convert that to a valid CSS format.

Thought I'd share the function in case anyone else needs the same.

<?php
function cssifysize($img) {
$dimensions = getimagesize($img);
$dimensions = str_replace("=\"", ":", $dimensions['3']);
$dimensions = str_replace("\"", "px;", $dimensions);
return $dimensions;
}

returns width:x;height:y;
?>

I expect there's a way of making that more efficient

Nikki (2010-01-26 15:26:52)

This should be easy, but I've re-solved the problem so many times.  Hopefully this is useful:

<?php
// Usage example to find the proper dimensions to resize an image down to 300x400 pixels maximum:
list($width, $height) = getimagesize($image);
$new_dimensions = resize_dimensions(300,400,$width,$height);

// Calculates restricted dimensions with a maximum of $goal_width by $goal_height
function resize_dimensions($goal_width,$goal_height,$width,$height) {
    $return = array('width' => $width, 'height' => $height);
    
    // If the ratio > goal ratio and the width > goal width resize down to goal width
    if ($width/$height > $goal_width/$goal_height && $width > $goal_width) {
        $return['width'] = $goal_width;
        $return['height'] = $goal_width/$width * $height;
    }
    // Otherwise, if the height > goal, resize down to goal height
    else if ($height > $goal_height) {
        $return['width'] = $goal_height/$height * $width;
        $return['height'] = $goal_height;
    }
    
    return $return;
}

IMAGETYPE_* are not linked to and with a few searches (like "IMAGETYPE_") on the PHP search tool don't give me a reasonable result. So far these are the ones I dug out, based on a comment on another function:
- IMAGETYPE_GIF, IMAGETYPE_JPEG, IMAGETYPE_PNG, IMAGETYPE_WBMP
I'm sure there are others...

This function returns the width and height of a JPEG image from a string, allowing the dimensions of images stored in a database to be retrieved without writing them to the disk first, or using "imagecreatefromstring" which is very slow in comparison.

<?PHP
function getJPEGImageXY($data) {
        $soi = unpack('nmagic/nmarker', $data);
        if ($soi['magic'] != 0xFFD8) return false;
        $marker = $soi['marker'];
        $data   = substr($data, 4);
        $done   = false;

        while(1) {
                if (strlen($data) === 0) return false;
                switch($marker) {
                        case 0xFFC0:
                                $info = unpack('nlength/Cprecision/nY/nX', $data);
                                return array($info['X'], $info['Y']);
                                break;

                        default:
                                $info   = unpack('nlength', $data);
                                $data   = substr($data, $info['length']);
                                $info   = unpack('nmarker', $data);
                                $marker = $info['marker'];
                                $data   = substr($data, 2);
                                break;
                }
        }
}
?>

Doing this 10,000 times takes 0.43 seconds, compared with using imagecreatefromstring/imagesx/imagesy which takes around 1.52 seconds to do the same.

Do not use this instead of getimagesize when dealing with files, getimagesize is much faster coming in at 0.15 seconds.

mycrazydream (2009-07-24 09:00:57)

I had for quite some time been using getimagesize() to check for the existence of a remote image. This turned out to take way too long. The following curl solution only checks the http headers so it is much more efficient.

<?php
function checkRemoteFile($url)
{
    $ch = curl_init(); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
    // don't download content
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 

    if(curl_exec($ch)!==FALSE)
    {
        return true;
    }
    else
    {
        return false;
    }
}

Well there are a lot of image scaling functions here. Here is my take on it.

<?php
function get_scaled_dim_array($img,$max_w = 100, $max_h = NULL){
    if(is_null($max_h)){
        $max_h = $max_w;
    }
    if (file_exists($img)){
        list($img_w,$img_h) = getimagesize($img);
        $f = min($max_w/$img_w, $max_h/$img_h, 1);
        $w = round($f * $img_w);
        $h = round($f * $img_h);
        return array($w,$h);
    }
    return NULL;
}
?>

As noted below, getimagesize will download the entire image before it checks for the requested information. This is extremely slow on large images that are accessed remotely. Since the width/height is in the first few bytes of the file, there is no need to download the entire file. I wrote a function to get the size of a JPEG by streaming bytes until the proper data is found to report the width and height:

<?php
// Retrieve JPEG width and height without downloading/reading entire image.
function getjpegsize($img_loc) {
    $handle = fopen($img_loc, "rb") or die("Invalid file stream.");
    $new_block = NULL;
    if(!feof($handle)) {
        $new_block = fread($handle, 32);
        $i = 0;
        if($new_block[$i]=="\xFF" && $new_block[$i+1]=="\xD8" && $new_block[$i+2]=="\xFF" && $new_block[$i+3]=="\xE0") {
            $i += 4;
            if($new_block[$i+2]=="\x4A" && $new_block[$i+3]=="\x46" && $new_block[$i+4]=="\x49" && $new_block[$i+5]=="\x46" && $new_block[$i+6]=="\x00") {
                // Read block size and skip ahead to begin cycling through blocks in search of SOF marker
                $block_size = unpack("H*", $new_block[$i] . $new_block[$i+1]);
                $block_size = hexdec($block_size[1]);

Note that if you specify a remote file (via a URL) to check the size of, PHP will first download the remote file to your server.
If you're using this function to check the size of user provided image links, this could constitute a security risk. A malicious user could potentially link to a very large image file and cause PHP to download it. I do not know what, if any, file size limits are in place for the download. But suppose the user provided a link to an image that was several gigabytes in size?
It would be nice if there were a way to limit the size of the download performed by this function. Hopefully there is already a default with some sensible limits.

When validating images, allways check both, image type *AND* file extension!
Because most image types allow sections for comments or other irrelevant data. Those section can be used to infiltrate php code onto the server. If these files are stored as sent by the client, files with a ".php" extension can be executed and do tremendous harm.

Well, I am making a script which will resize the image when uploaded, however, i am making a multi-uploader, so i came across with a problem: an efficient way of getting a pictures height and width and storing them in an array to resize later. This is what i came up with:

<?php
$links = array("test1.jpg", "test2.png");
$sizearray = array();
$count = count($links);
for($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
    $size = getimagesize($links[$i]);
    list($width, $height) = $size;
    $sizearray[$links[$i]] = array("width" => $width, "height" => $height);
}
print_r($sizearray);
// which will print out: Array ( [test1.jpg] => Array ( [width] => 300 [height] => 400 ) [test2.png] => Array ( [width] => 680 [height] => 100 ) )
?>

Rather than making a lengthy function that essentially runs twice (once as width, once as height) I came up with a helpful function that uses variable variables to set a maximum height/width. Hope someone finds this helpful.
function scaleimage($location, $maxw=NULL, $maxh=NULL){
$img = @getimagesize($location);
if($img){
$w = $img[0];
$h = $img[1];
$dim = array('w','h');
foreach($dim AS $val){
$max = "max{$val}";
if(${$val} > ${$max} && ${$max}){
$alt = ($val == 'w') ? 'h' : 'w';
$ratio = ${$alt} / ${$val};
${$val} = ${$max};
${$alt} = ${$val} * $ratio;
}
}
return("<img src='{$location}' alt='image' width='{$w}' height='{$h}' />");
}
}

Correction: to find $y2 it should be...
// set y side to a proportional size
$y2 = $m * $x_max; // not $x1
Thanks Norbert =)

info at personalmis dot com (2008-01-07 04:42:00)

Seems the various ways people are trying to proportionaly scale an image, up or down, could be more straight forward if one remembers ones algebra.
The formula is, y = mx, where m is the slope of the line. This is the ratio of y:x or m = y/x.
So if...
// max values for x and y
$y_max = 600;
$x_max = 800;
// image size
$y1 = 2000;
$x1 = 3000;
// use width for scaling
if ($x1 > $x_max)
{
// find slope
$m = $y1/$x1;
// set x side to max
$x2 = $x_max;
// set y side to a proportional size
$y2 = $m * $x1;
}
The new image proportionally scaled will be x2 = 800, y2 = 533 (rounded).
To do it from the y side, simply reverse the x's and y's.

It's always good to check out an image's dimensions while attempting to upload to your server or database...especially if it's going to be displayed on a page that doesn't accomodate images beyond a particular size.

<?php

$tmpName = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];
        
list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize($tmpName);

if($width>275 || $height>275)
{
die("exceeded image dimension limits.");
}

In reply to John (http://de.php.net/manual/de/function.getimagesize.php#61514):
list will only work with numeric arrays.

<?php
  //renumber
  $my_image = array_values(getimagesize('test.jpg'));
  //use list on new array
  list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = $my_image;

  //view new array
  print_r($my_image);

  //spit out content
  echo 'Attribute: '.$attr.'<br />';
  echo 'Width: '.$width.'<br />';

an alternative to the three options below for finding the width and height of data you know to be an image:
$image = imagecreatefromstring($mydata);
$width = imagesx($image);
$height = imagesy($image);

boshka at gmail dot com (2007-02-01 05:40:51)

I was trying to workaround with the problem of getting the mime type of the image from the raw data (the images data is stored in a database and the mime type is not known in advance). Since getimagesize requires a file name, there are some ways to deal with it:
1. call getimagesize with a URL which points to the image - this is too slow.
2. use PHP file i/o wrapper class.
3. use temporary files. The code for #3 could be as follows:
function getimagesize_raw($data){
$cwd = getcwd(); #get current working directory
$tempfile = tempnam("$cwd/tmp", "temp_image_");#create tempfile and return the path/name (make sure you have created tmp directory under $cwd
$temphandle = fopen($tempfile, "w");#open for writing
fwrite($temphandle, $data); #write image to tempfile
fclose($temphandle);
$imagesize = getimagesize($tempfile); #get image params from the tempfile
unlink($tempfile); // this removes the tempfile
return $imagesize;
}

In addition to thomporter's quick-reference of the output array, here's what PHP 4.4.0 does:
Array[0] = Width
Array[1] = Height
Array[2] = Image Type Flag
Array[3] = width="xxx" height="xxx"
Array[bits] = bits
Array[channels] = channels
Array[mime] = mime-type
There is no chance of getting the mime-type by accessing Array[6]...

I was coming here to see if there was a simple way to get the height, width, and mime type of an image I have uploaded and while I thought the following code would work because it is printed above
<?php
list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize("img/flag.jpg");
?>

it didnt when I tried to echo out $type; so heres my fix, there may be a better way but it works for me!

<?php
$blah = getimagesize("folder/file.gif");
$type = $blah['mime'];
$width = $blah[0];
$height = $blah[1];
?>

and then you can just echo out one of the variables about to get whichever you would desire.

gormozus at yahoo dot com (2005-11-15 10:56:19)

getimagesize() seems to cache the results, so if you resize an image (using the methods described earlier) and you want to re-read its width and height, use imagesx() and imagesy() to get the actual information.

To solve the problem with using absolute site filepaths, as experienced by Brian:
$size = getimagesize($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"].$file);
(where $file is something like "/rootdir/graphics/photo.jpg")

Note that the canvas of a Flash movie can not be empty for getimagesize() to read the dimensions of an SWF. Not sure if this is a bug, a feature or just a limitation of the SWF format.
Flash version does not seem to matter. Also tested with Flash 8 beta.

I needed a quick way to make a group of images uniformly sized, but only on one page.  So creating a new set of thumbnails was overdoing the whole thing.  I made up this script that seems to do the trick.

<?php
     $image =  "absolute/path/to/image/image.jpg";                
     $size = getimagesize("$image");
       $height = $size[1];
       $width = $size[0];
     if ($height > 150)
          {
               $height = 150;
               $percent = ($size[1] / $height);
               $width = ($size[0] / $percent);
          }
     else if ($width > 150)
          {
               $width = 150;
               $percent = ($size[0] / $width);
               $height = ($size[1] / $percent);
          }
     echo "<img src\"image/path/image.jpg\" height=\"$height\" width=\"$width\" />";

I've wrote this piece of useful code.
May be it will be useful for you.
But i got a problem - if source image is in the area with need of authorization then the functions that read some files from that place (i.e. getimagesize, imagejpeg) does not work!
How to solve it?

<?php

//w - optional width
//h - optional height
//if you set either w or h, then the image is resized proportionaly, according to the source
//if you set neither w nor h then the script just output file
//if you set both w or h then the image will be resized exactly how you want

Note that, if you're going to be a good programmer and use named constatnts (IMAGETYPE_JPEG) rather than their values (2), you want to use the IMAGETYPE variants - IMAGETYPE_JPEG, IMAGETYPE GIF, IMAGETYPE_PNG, etc. For some reason, somebody made a horrible decision, and IMG_PNG is actually 4 in my version of PHP, while IMAGETYPE_PNG is 3. It took me a while to figure out why comparing the type against IMG_PNG was failing...

This is just to add to the comment by robertks at hotmail dot com on 
05-Mar-2003 12:12 regarding trying to derive the dimensions of a video file. The package referenced (http://www.getid3.org/) had been updated, and below is a script I use to get the size. You can get many other attributes of media files as well.

<?php
// include getID3() library (can be in a different directory if full path is specified)
 include_once('getid3.php');
 
// Initialize getID3 engine
$getID3 = new getID3;

 // File to get info from
 $file_location = './your/path/to/file.mov';

// Get information from the file
 $fileinfo = $getID3->analyze($file_location);
 getid3_lib::CopyTagsToComments($fileinfo);
 
 // Output results
if (!empty($fileinfo['video']['resolution_x'])) { echo '<p> video width: '.$fileinfo['video']['resolution_x'].'</p>'; }
if (!empty($fileinfo['video']['resolution_y'])) { echo '<p> video height: '.$fileinfo['video']['resolution_y'].'</p>'; }
?>

Hope that helps others looking for a function similar to getimagesize() for a video or media file.

If your image name has spaces in it you will need to use rawurlencode() and NOT urlencode() as this function (at least in 4.3.4) does not accept spaces as + signs.

cstdenis at hotmail dot com (2004-08-11 11:42:07)

This will not work for swf files unless zlib is compiled into php statically (not as a shared module). Bug #29611
As of PHP 5.0.0 it will just return false, but that should change to a notice by the next release.

ryan at vitalmodels dot com (2004-06-05 01:06:11)

--- Editor's Note:
It's easier to call on urlencode() or rawurlencode() to "fix" urls containing spaces and other characters that normally not well-liked.
---
You may have noticed that images with spaces WONT work with getimagesize - some of us have massive amounts of pictures, or don't feel like rewriting file names on users uploaded pictures- so here is a super fast fix that will replace the spaces once the image is called and will work with getimagesize flawlessly-
$image_new = "/pictures/$pic[picture]"; //PICTURE URL
$image_new = str_replace(' ','%20',$image_new); //REPLACE THE SPACES
Now you just call $image_new using getimagesize and you wont' have anymore problems.
On my site I take uploaded pictures from users - then resize them if they are over a certain width, here is the script i use if anyone would like to do this-
$image_new = "/pictures/$pic[picture]"; //url of picture
$image_new = str_replace(' ','%20',$image_new); //take url and replace spaces
$max_width= "480"; //maximum width allowed for pictures
$resize_width= "480"; //same as max width
$size = getimagesize("$image_new"); //get the actual size of the picture
$width= $size[0]; // get width of picture
$height= $size[1]; // get height of picture
if ($width>$max_width){
$new_width=$resize_width; // Resize Image If over max width
}else {
$new_width=$width; // Keep original size from array because smaller than max
}
echo "<IMG src=\"$image_new\" border=1 width=$new_width>" //print image with new width
Hope this helps anyone who wants some simple uses for getimagesize- check out my website to see it in action- vitalmodels.com

simm posted something interesting about imagick, but usually calling an external binary is not the best way.

You can use the Imagick PHP module . With it, you do not even need to get the image size to generate thubnails...

Here's the code I used :
<?php
    $imh=imagick_readimage($image);
    imagick_scale($imh,GALLERY_THUMBNAILWIDTH,GALLERY_THUMBNAILHEIGHT);
    imagick_writeimage($imh,$image_thumb);
?>

(I noticed that some hosting companies are now providing the imagick module by default. Using it allows you to accept any type of image from your visitors. Maybe it will be documented on the official PHP website one day or another? )

MarioPro (2004-03-10 18:13:07)

The Problem:
I've just noticed that after upgrading to the PHP 4.3.4 version, the old GetImageSize() should get your attention on pages coded before this new version.
The solutions:
So, if you used GetImageSize(), you should now be using getimagesize() - attention to all lower caracters.
Also, you shou certify that the image realy exists, otherwhise you'll get the following error: getimagesize(): Read error!
This means that there is no image to "fill" the string and thus you're calling, for example: "images/news/" instead of calling "images/news/03102004a.jpg"
One should now verify if there is an image to be called (example):
if($photo1!=""){
$size1=getimagesize("images/news/".$photo_news_1"]);
$width1=$size1[0];
$height1=$size[1];
}
Here, if $photo_news_1 is set and exists it will be displayed, otherwhise it will be skiped and no ERROR message will be displayed. In the PHP 4.3.3 and earlier versions, this was not necessary but it is now! ;)

If you want to resize an image proportionally to fit within a given area, like I did, the following code might help you out.
If either hscale or wscale are greater than 1 then that dimension is too big. If you then scale your image by the larger of the two values (hscale, wscale) then you guarantee that both dimensions will now fit in your specified area :)
function makeImg($num) {
global $hmax, $wmax; // max width and height
$image = "somefile.jpg";
list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize($image);
$hscale = $height / $hmax;
$wscale = $width / $wmax;
if (($hscale > 1) || ($wscale > 1)) {
$scale = ($hscale > $wscale)?$hscale:$wscale;
} else {
$scale = 1;
}
$newwidth = floor($width / $scale);
$newheight= floor($height / $scale);
return "<img width='$newwidth' height='$newheight' src='$image'><br>$image: $newwidth x $newheight : $width x $height";
}

djwishbone at hotmail dot com (2003-11-18 18:31:15)

Using remote files with getimagesize($URL) never worked for me. Except when I would grab files from the same server. However, I developed some code with the help from the people here that does work. If you are having problems give this function a shot:
function getimagesize_remote($image_url) {
$handle = fopen ($image_url, "rb");
$contents = "";
if ($handle) {
do {
$count += 1;
$data = fread($handle, 8192);
if (strlen($data) == 0) {
break;
}
$contents .= $data;
} while(true);
} else { return false; }
fclose ($handle);
$im = ImageCreateFromString($contents);
if (!$im) { return false; }
$gis[0] = ImageSX($im);
$gis[1] = ImageSY($im);
// array member 3 is used below to keep with current getimagesize standards
$gis[3] = "width={$gis[0]} height={$gis[1]}";
ImageDestroy($im);
return $gis;
}
goodluck

If you want to show thumbnails keeping the original proportions, with defined maximum width and height, you can use this function. This is useful when showing tables of user-uploaded images, that not necessarily are same-sized. However, for big images (like wallpapers), a better option is to create separated thumbnails with a image-editing software.

If the image is smaller or equal than the defined maximums, then it's showed without resizing. If not, creates a link to a pop-up that shows the full-size image.

<?php
function show_thumbnail($file)
{
    $max = 200 // Max. thumbnail width and height

    $size = getimagesize($file);

    if ( $size[0] <= $max && $size[1] <= $max )
    {
        $ret = '<img src="'.$file.'" '.$size[3].' border="0">';
    }
    else
    {
        $k = ( $size[0] >= $size[1] ) ? $size[0] / $max : $size[1] / $max;
        $ret = '<a href="javascript:;" onClick="window.open(\'image.php?img=';
        $ret .= $file.'\',\'\',\'width='.$size[0];
        $ret .= ',height='.$size[1].'\')">';
        $ret .= '<img src="'.$file.'" width="'.floor($size[0]/$k).'" height="'.floor($size[1]/$k).'" border="0" alt="View full-size image"></a>';
    }

    return $ret;
}
?>

Here is the code of 'image.php':

<html>
<head>
<title>Image</title>
</head>
<body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0">
<?php echo ( is_file($_GET['img']) ) ? '<a href="#" onClick="window.close();"><img src="'.$_GET['img'].'" border="0" alt="Close window"></a>' : 'Invalid image filename, or no filename entered. <a href="#" onClick="window.close();">Close window</a>.' ?>
</body>

if( $image_info = getimagesize( "/upload_dir/" . $uploadName ) )
{
  if( $image_info[ 0 ] > $defaultImgWidth )
  {
    exec( "mogrify -geometry " . $defaultImgWidth . " " . "/upload_dir/" . $uploadName . " &" );
  }
}

?>

$defaultImgWidth would be the target width of the image -- note that the code above resizes the image without distorting its original proportions, and only if it is wider than $defaultImgWidth.
the ImageMagick syntax used above ("mogrify ..") overwrites the original file ($uploadName) with the resized image.

An additional note to "tightcode_nosp@m_hotmail":

If that doesn't work try this instead:

<?
      $img = imagecreatefromjpeg ($filename);
      $x = imagesx ($img);
      $y = imagesy ($img);
      imagedestroy ($img);
?>

Though keep in mind that this consumes lots of CPU. So if you're doing something like creating a page of thumbnails this is considerably slower.

So what you can do is use getimagesize() and check if
- the width and height are empty strings ("")
- and those two values aren't too high

Both indicate that getimagesize() didn't work properly. The latter may happen if getimagesize() thought that it recognized the format and therefore the size properly. I mean if you're looking at pictures that you know are max. 1024x768 and getimagesize() returns a width of e.g. 20234 then it's obvious that something went wrong. In that case use the code mentioned above. Of course if getimagesize() returned small values that are wrong you still get the wrong size. So check your pictures and priorities first.

So all of this could look like as follows:

<?
    $picinfo = @getimagesize ($filename);
    if ($picinfo !== false) {
      $x = $picinfo [0];
      $y = $picinfo [1];
    }

    // change this according the picture resolutions you're expecting
    if ($x > 2000 || $y > 2000) $x = $y = "";

    if ($x == "") {
      $img = imagecreatefromjpeg ($filename);
      $x = imagesx ($img);
      $y = imagesy ($img);
      imagedestroy ($img);
    }
?>

Note: fix syntax stuff if there's an error as I compiled this example from a few places.

If you don't care about the huge load on your CPU or you have to rely on the proper size use the snippet noted at the beginning only.

For those that like to go the dynamic thumbnail route, I've found that you can get warnings with getimagesize() after your loop through more than 3 to 4 images. In my case I needed 12 images on each page.
Use usleep() in your loop just before you run getimagesize() otherwise you'll end up with warnings, big images and a broken page. Using usleep() lets the server recoup for X milliseconds so it will accept connections again for the image size.
I've found that usleep(1500) is the best for my situation. This barely slows the page down and allows for getimagesize() to work 100% of the time for me.

I figured others have wanted to scale an image to a particular height or width while preserving the height/width ratio. So here are the functions I wrote to accomplish this. Hopefully they'll save somebody else the five minutes it took to write these.
You give the filename and the dimension you want to use, and these functions return the opposite dimension:
function scale_to_height ($filename, $targetheight) {
$size = getimagesize($filename);
$targetwidth = $targetheight * ($size[0] / $size[1]);
return $targetwidth;
}

function scale_to_width ($filename, $targetwidth) {
$size = getimagesize($filename);
$targetheight = $targetwidth * ($size[1] / $size[0]);
return $targetheight;
}

For those of you trying to derive the dimensions of a video file (e.g. Video for Windows AVI, Quicktime MOV, MPEG MPG, Windows Media Video WMV or ASF, etc.), you will find the getid3 library to be indispensible. Found at http://getid3.sourceforge.net, here's an example of its use in a script:
include_once('getid3.php'); // or wherever you actually put the getid3 scripts
$file_location = './myvideo.avi';
$file_info = GetAllFileInfo($file_location) // calls getid3 function
$file_width = $file_info['video']['resolution_x'];
$file_height = $file_info['video']['resolution_y'];
You can then use your OBJECT and EMBED tags in HTML to put the video into a web page, and make the PHP template independent of the size parameters of the particular video it happens to be loading. (Just remember to add pixels to the video height to accomodate the controller of the embedded player: typically, 16 pixels for Quicktime, 46 pixels for Windows Media Player 6, and 64 pixels for Windows Media Player 7.

Really useful info from webmasterb@feartheclown.com and you others :-)
Saved my butt...
Here's a build on that, with proportional resizing of the image-upload ($newpic) to a fixed value ($maxwidth):
$maxwidth = "350";
$imagehw = GetImageSize($newpic);
$imagewidth = $imagehw[0];
$imageheight = $imagehw[1];
$imgorig = $imagewidth;
if ($imagewidth > $maxwidth {
$imageprop=($maxwidth*100)/$imagewidth;
$imagevsize= ($imageheight*$imageprop)/100 ;
$imagewidth=$maxwidth;
$imageheight=ceil($imagevsize);
}
Of course this does not resize the image itself, but returns values one may use in html-code to restrain users from killing your design...
