php resizing image on upload rotates the image when i don't want it to

Question

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

Answer 1

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)
