 *	This function reads the PPM header from the beginning of a PPM-format
 *	string and returns information from the header.
 *
 * Results:
 *	The return value is PGM if the string appears to start with a valid
 *	PGM header, PPM if the string appears to start with a valid PPM
 *	header, and 0 otherwise. If the header is valid, then *widthPtr and
 *	*heightPtr are modified to hold the dimensions of the image and
 *	*maxIntensityPtr is modified to hold the value of a "fully on"
 *	intensity value.
 *
 * Side effects:
 *	None
