php 5 and imagecreatefromjpeg() recoverable error: Premature end of JPEG file
March 17, 2008
Ok I recently came up with a problem creating thumbnails for a project I am working on. I was stumped for hours, it seems that some files that were saved from a mac or certain photo editing programs would cause php to not recognize it a jpg thus giving the error:
imagecreatefromjpeg() : gd-jpeg, libjpeg: recoverable error: Premature end of JPEG
After researching this problem I realized it was a problem with php 5 and gd2. Heres how to fix it
- php 4 : No action neccesarry it should work fine
- php 5.0 - 5.1.2 = Upgrade to the latest php 5
- php 5.1.3 - current = Declare this variable in your file before calling imagecreatefromjpeg()
ini_set(’gd.jpeg_ignore_warning’, 1);
Doing that will cause gd2,php to ignore the error and continue where it use to just fail and do nothing.

Where do you add this code? In the PHP script or in the .htaccess?

If you copy and paste the ini_set command above, it probably won’t work, because those are backticks. You won’t get a php error on it either. Just make sure you change the backticks to either single or double quotes, and it should work fine.

yeah your right thanks for mentioning that, I guess wordpress converts quotes into backticks. why not just use add and stripslashses? ! lol

That was amazingly helpful. I was working with photos off my Canon SD1000 and never thought that the photo would have been the issue, but it worked when I put that ignore in.
Nice Work
