A few notes about some contributions on this page.
1. It seemed to me that on the face it of all of the
offerings to emulate "image_type_to_extension"
function fell short of the mark in one way or another (See
my comments below). That's why I wrote my own and submitted
to this page below. In respect of my work any comments, bugs
noted or improvements would be gratefully received.
2. Avoid using the Switch statement in an unconventional
method to "Break" (I note the use of the return
statement!). Also even if it does nothing at the inception
of our code - Still put in the default case (It lets others
realise that a default is not required or at worst
forgotton.
3. In an environment that is under your control the risk of
an error by determining the content by its extension or MIME
type may seem an attractive solution to a problem. However,
in the real world there's no guarantee that a MIME type or
file extension is correct for it's associated file.
Consider using functions to get the image type:
getimagesize or (This is available without GD)
exif_imagetype
4. There's more to coding than just putting something
together to do a job!!! But whatever is done is worthwhile -
Hence expletives have no place in this forum!!
5. The idea from "oridan at hotmail dot com" is a
very slick idea. I will be taking a closer look at this for
my own project.
