I have a section that shows an uploaded image. I was doing this:

list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = @getimagesize("/path/to/
$image");

if (!$width) {
$image = "noimage.gif";
$width = "75";
$height = "95";
}

I understand that error suppression has a bit of a performance hit,
though, so I'm curious if either of these would be better:

if (is_readable("/path/to/$image"))
list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = @getimagesize("/path/to/
$image");

if (getimagesize("/path/to/$image"))
list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = @getimagesize("/path/to/
$image");

Either would still be followed with "if (!$width)...". I know that
neither are fool-proof because they don't check that someone didn't
rename an .xls or .exe to .jpg, but I can probably control that better
on the upload side than checking here on every page load. Here, I'm
more concerned with speed, and not showing any error messages for
faulty images.

TIA,

Jason
