Detect Animated GIF

Hey all.

I need some support for a imaging script I'm writing.
How do you go about detecting if a GIF image is animated or not?

Thanks!

The file will be really big. Just kidding.

I don't know for sure, but maybe there's a GD function that could tell you this.

I found out I was able to detect how many frames there was in a GIF (or any image for that matter) with ImageMagick.

e.g.:

$frames = exec("identify -format '%n' theimage.gif");
if ($frames>1) {print "This is an Animation!"; exit;}

Thanks for the suggestion! 😃

so does anyone know away of detecting animated gifs without imageMagick.

I dont have that installed on my server but would really like to be able to detect animated gifs rather than have a nice x
