Uploading Images & Modifying

[Anon]

If I had any hair, I'd be tearing it out now. Basically what I'm trying to do is upload an image through a form, shrink it and then stick the original image and the original in BLOB column in a MySQL database.
I can upload display and insert and retrieve the original image, but I can't seem to figure out how to modofy the image.

I tried the following:

imagecopyresampled ($thImage, $uploadedfile, 0, 0, 0, 0, $destwidth, $destheight, $ImageWidth, $ImageHeight);

That didn't work, so I tried doing this:

$imagenew=ImageCreateFromJPEG($formImageData);
imagecopyresampled ($thimage, $imagenew, 0, 0, 0, 0, $destwidth, $destheight, $ImageWidth, $ImageHeight);

I know I am completely missing the problem here and would appreciate any assistance anyone could offer.
Thanks in advance,
Alex

I have some obsence problem with just one of my upload files..... it keeps returning 'file already exists' error no matter what I try to upload.

Any ideas?

There are 3 file fields (file_sml1, file_sml2, file_sml3)

and three upload functions

if($file_sml1_size!=0) {$picture_1=$file_sml1;}
if($file_sml3!='none'){
fileUpload($file_sml1,$file_sml1_name,$abpath);
$picture_sml1=$file_sml1_name;}

any idea what i am doing wrong?

and code snippets would be very much appreciated
