function image_get_info

Gets details about an image.

Drupal supports GIF, JPG and PNG file formats when used with the GD toolkit, and may support others, depending on which toolkits are installed.

Parameters

$filepath: String specifying the path of the image file.

$toolkit: An optional image toolkit name to override the default.

Return value

FALSE, if the file could not be found or is not an image. Otherwise, a keyed array containing information about the image:

  • "width": Width, in pixels.
  • "height": Height, in pixels.
  • "extension": Commonly used file extension for the image.
  • "mime_type": MIME type ('image/jpeg', 'image/gif', 'image/png').
  • "file_size": File size in bytes.
