Exceptions exceptions...

Hi Gary,
Any progress? I've just encountered same issue in my project.


Details: A user downloads an image from some website that is labeled with a .jpeg extension. It is actually a .heic image (if microsoft paint is to be trusted) and I get an exception during attempted upload. Instead, when this happens, I want to display an info message: "This image type is unsupported/image has additional copyright measures added. You may try and open it in ms paint and re-save it as .jpeg (works 100%)". Instead I get throw ImageException::forInvalidImageCreate('Ima'); in GDHandler.php

So far solved like this:

PHP Code:

try {
     //my library function for image uploading, editing
     $new_images = $simpleImg->upload();
} catch (\CodeIgniter\Images\Exceptions\ImageException $e) {
     session()->setFlashdata('message',
'This image type is unsupported/image has additional copyright measures added. You may try and open it in ms paint and re-save it as .jpeg (works 100%)');
} 


This code catches ALL exceptions within \CodeIgniter\Images\Exceptions\ImageException
How do I display my own message exactly for forInvalidImageCreate?

You can see things I made with codeigniter here: itart.pro its not overly impressive as I have very little time to learn.
