exif_thumbnail — Retrieve the embedded thumbnail of a TIFF or JPEG image
exif_thumbnail() reads the embedded thumbnail of a TIFF or JPEG image.

The name of the image file being read. This image contains an embedded thumbnail.
The return width of the returned thumbnail.
The returned height of the returned thumbnail.
The returned image type of the returned thumbnail. This is either TIFF or JPEG.
Returns the embedded thumbnail, or FALSE if the image contains no thumbnail.
