Greetings.
I have managed to stitch together an awesome method of posting text
along with an image to a database, in a way that allows an unlimited
number of previews to ensure that text and image are perfect before
submission. This involves converting any uploaded image to a Base64
String and holding that in a hidden form field until either the post
gets submitted to the database or the image gets replaced with another one.
I have just one question. It is really easy to determine the image’s
dimensions during the initial “preview” (before it is converted to
Base64), but the data naturally gets lost on subsequent previews if the
only thing getting passed along is the Base64 string containing the
image data.
I was wondering if there was some way I could parse the Base64 String to
determine the dimensions of the image, or do I have to take the much
more messy way of including hidden form fields to hold the values?
TIA

Mignon McLaughlin once said that “A nymphomaniac is a woman [who is] as
obsessed with sex as the average man.” Unfortunately, since true
nymphomaniacs are so rare, this means that it takes an extraordinary
woman to keep up with an ordinary man.
