$image_dimensions = @getimagesize($uploadfile);
$image_dimensions_width  = $image_dimensions[0];
$image_dimensions_height = $image_dimensions[1];

if(($image_dimensions_width < '235') || ($image_dimensions_height < '235'))

when i echo $image_dimensions_width and $image_dimensions_height i get 350 and 242.

so my if fails... wtf!?
