getimagesize();

Errors/Exceptions

If accessing the filename image is impossible, or if it isn't a valid picture, getimagesize() will generate an error of level E_WARNING. On read error, getimagesize() will generate an error of level E_NOTICE.

was getting ahead of myself with imagemagick/gd

I should have RTFM ;-)
