| Subject: | _check_type not working when image blob is provided to create() |
One of the documented methods for using this class is to pass an image blob as $image to the create() method. However, when this method is used, the incorrect mime type is used in the overlay on the thumbnail. For example, if I provide a jpeg blob, the thumbnail is correctly generated as jpeg but it has a "PNG" type listed in the overlay. But neither the original image nor the thumbnail is a PNG.
It looks like this is caused by the _check_type() method returning the default type (PNG) when the $image argument is less than 255 characters long or doesn't have one the recognized extensions. (It won't have any valid extension if it's a blob.)
It doesn't look like GD has a method for determining original file type. It looks like force_mime only forces the type of outputted thumbnail. Perhaps just allowing the option of passing in the original type to create() somewhere so the generated thumbnail will be correct?
