exif_thumbnail
    (PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5)
exif_thumbnail -- Retrieve the embedded thumbnail of a TIFF or JPEG image
Description
string 
exif_thumbnail ( string filename [, int &width [, int &height [, int &imagetype]]] )
   exif_thumbnail() reads the embedded thumbnail of a 
   TIFF or JPEG image. 
  
   If you want to deliver thumbnails through this function, you should send
   the mimetype information using the header() function.
  
   It is possible that exif_thumbnail() cannot create an 
   image but can determine its size. In this case, the return value is 
   FALSE but width and height 
   are set.
  
Parameters
   
- filename
 
       The name of the image file being read.  This image contains an
       embedded thumbnail.
      
- width
 
       The return width of the returned thumbnail.
      
- height
 
       The returned height of the returned thumbnail.
      
- imagetype
 
       The returned image type of the returned thumbnail.  This is either
       TIFF or JPEG.
      
 
  Return Values
   Returns the embedded thumbnail, or FALSE if the image contains no 
   thumbnail.
