  • getimagesize() is a PHP function which returns file attributes when we pass file path into it. We are getting height and width from it.
  • $width <= 400, It is 400px. According to given condition width should be less than or equal to 400px.
  • $height <= 200, It is 200px.
  • in_array($_FILES[‘file’][‘type’], $valid_extensions) Checking file type with given image extensions.
  • $_FILES[‘file’][‘size’] <= 13000 Condition to check file size. Here 13000 is in bytes, so it is 13Kb.
