PHP & Imagemagick - Identify ?

[nomaam22]

I am working with PHP and Imagemagick.

Could someone show me how to use the identify function when you are dealing with a submitted form. For example my form submits the following data in a POST

<input type="file" name="image">

Now I would like to take the passed variable for the image path and obtain the details of the image. I am able to download the image as I mentioned above but I am unable to use the identify command for some reason.

I have tried many different variations of the exec command but I can't get it to work.

exec("identify {$_FILES['image']}", $result);
$identify = $result[0];
print_r($identify);

The above command does not provide any information about the image.

I believe I have to pass the full path for the image in order to obtain the needed information. But how do I do this when using a form???

Thanks.

Hi

Take a look at the content of the [tt]$_FILES[/tt] array or read its documentation.

[navy][tt]$_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'][/tt][/navy]

The temporary filename of the file in which the uploaded file was stored on the server.

( Handling file uploads | POST method uploads )

[COLOR=darkgoldenrod]exec[/color][teal]([/teal][green][i]"identify {$_FILES['image']['tmp_name']}"[/i][/green][teal],[/teal] [navy]$result[/navy][teal]);[/teal]

By the way, if you have the Imagick module installed, you could use the [tt]Imagick::identifyImage()[/tt] method.
