  There is an inbuilt function in PHP that provides functionality to get the width and height of an image.
  The getimagesize() function can determine the size of image file including flash file (swf).

  Syntax of function:
  list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize(“image_name.jpg”);

  Demo Code:
  Below is a sample code to demonstate the getimagesize() function.
  change imageName to your image name to test it.

  View Code PHP

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

  <?php   list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize("image_name.jpg");     echo "Image width " .$width; echo "<BR>"; echo "Image height " .$height; echo "<BR>"; echo "Image type " .$type; echo "<BR>"; echo "Attribute " .$attr;   ?>

  When you will run this script you will see the result like this

  Image width 400
  Image height 500
  Image type 3
  Image attribute width=”400″ height=”500″

  You will get the width, height, type of an image and also attribute of an image. It can be used in my image upload form.
  Type of an image you can see from table below.

  Type of Image:

  1 = GIF
  2 = JPG
  3 = PNG
  4 = SWF
  5 = PSD
  6 = BMP
  7 = TIFF(intel byte order)
