How much difference does it make if I want to save all uploaded images to my site as gif if I just do…
$target = 'images/avatars/' . md5($user['id']) . '.gif';
Rather than creating a gif in php copying the temp image and then saving? Will the browser still load the file? Will it still recognise the old file type? Does it really matter from a point of view where these images will never be downloaded purposelly through my site?
Thanks
Yes, you can rename images to .gif and browsers will still display them as jpg even if you load them with a .gif extension.
It will still have a jpg filetype, just with a .gif extension. (Just tested this)
