 **/
function is_animated_gif( $filename )
{
    $raw = file_get_contents( $filename );

    $offset = 0;
    $frames = 0;
    while ($frames < 2)
    {
        $where1 = strpos($raw, "\x00\x21\xF9\x04", $offset);
        if ( $where1 === false )
        {
            break;
        }
        else
        {
            $offset = $where1 + 1;
            $where2 = strpos( $raw, "\x00\x2C", $offset );
            if ( $where2 === false )
            {
                break;
            }
            else
            {
                if ( $where1 + 8 == $where2 )
                {
                    $frames ++;
                }
                $offset = $where2 + 1;
            }
        }
    }

    return $frames > 1;
}
