[Php] Auto sensing a .swf dimensions.

[Alex.]

how can you auto sense the dims of a flash file using php, if at all?

i thought that on phpbb activity mods, you can import a swf file and it auto senses its dims.

is there a way to do it?

You can actually use the same function that gets properties of images files to do this:

http://uk2.php.net/getimagesize

The getimagesize() function will determine the size of any GIF, JPG, PNG, SWF, SWC, PSD, TIFF, BMP, IFF, JP2, JPX, JB2, JPC, XBM, or WBMP image file and return the dimensions along with the file type and a height/width text string to be used inside a normal HTML <IMG> tag.

So for example:

<?php
list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize('animation.swf');

// echo $width . ' x ' . $height;
?>
