Can I detect animated gifs using php and gd?

by

While searching for a solution to the same problem I noticed that the php.net site has a follow-up to the code Davide and Kris are referring to, but, according to the author, less memory-intensive, and possibly less disk-intensive.

I’ll replicate it here, because it may be of interest.

source: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecreatefromgif.php#88005

function is_ani($filename) {
    if(!($fh = @fopen($filename, 'rb')))
        return false;
    $count = 0;
    //an animated gif contains multiple "frames", with each frame having a
    //header made up of:
    // * a static 4-byte sequence (\x00\x21\xF9\x04)
    // * 4 variable bytes
    // * a static 2-byte sequence (\x00\x2C)

    // We read through the file til we reach the end of the file, or we've found
    // at least 2 frame headers
    while(!feof($fh) && $count < 2) {
        $chunk = fread($fh, 1024 * 100); //read 100kb at a time
        $count += preg_match_all('#\x00\x21\xF9\x04.{4}\x00[\x2C\x21]#s', $chunk, $matches);
    }

    fclose($fh);
    return $count > 1;
}
