[Solar-talk] use getimagesize() in a view

[Dmytro Konstantinov]

Jeff,

When you do "$this->image('path/to/image.jpg')" you invoke an image  
helper that builds the entire <img ...> tag for you. The helper is  
aware of the location of you public resources therefore "path/to/ 
image.jpg" works ok.

When you do "$image_info = getimagesize('path/to/image.jpg');" you  
invoke a php function with "path/to/image.jpg" as a parameter. PHP  
neither knows nor cares about the location of your public resources,  
but it does expect you to pass the correct path as a parameter. At a  
guess, I would say that the path you are passing doesn't lead to your  
image file. Try if the following works:

	$image_info = getimagesize(Solar::factory('Solar_Uri_Public')- 
 >quick('path/to/image.jpg'));

Also have a look at the manual page for both Solar_Uri_Public and  
Solar_View_Helper_Image (which you invoke when you do "$this- 
 >image('path/to/image.jpg')" in the layout/view.

Hope it helps!
