I Have an upload script that resizes the images uploaded, however, some images are being saved as a rotated image when i dont want them to, any way to preserve the original image direction?

 if (($resizeObj->width > 400) || ($resizeObj->height > 600)){

    // *** 2) Resize image (options: exact, portrait, landscape, auto, crop)
    $resizeObj -> resizeImage(400, 400, 'crop');

    // *** 3) Save image
    $resizeObj -> saveImage($path, 95);

    }

this is my class file:

    The EXIF data is probably being ignored by this basic script.

    Investigate whether your images have embedded rotation information using exif_read_data, and then auto-correct the rotation with a function like this.

    In your case,

    1. take the script I just linked,
    2. paste it above the first line of your code,
    3. change all the $image-> bits to $resizeObj->
      (vim-style grep: %s/image->/resizeObj->/g)
