php - imagerotate when using move_uploaded_file -

trying counter issues uploaded images ios devices exif orientation kept causing them rotated sometimes.

i found many snippets on using imagerotate counter problem trying implement them.

for saving of image using:

$moveuploadedfile = move_uploaded_file($filetoupload["tmp_name"], $this->uploaddir . "/" . $newfilename); 

(taken bulletproof image upload class)

im fine making switch statement check exif data, cant make move_uploaded_file work.

i have tried (for testing) e.g:

$image = $filetoupload["tmp_name"]; $image = imagerotate($image, 90, 0); $moveuploadedfile = move_uploaded_file($image, $this->uploaddir . "/" . $newfilename); 

this giving me error of move_uploaded_file requesting string receiving resource instead.

any help?

here go sir
