GetImageSize()

[Anon]

I am getting this error when i use GetImageSize()

Warning: Unable to open http://www.testdomain.com/image/bengi_man.jpg in /home/sites/hot/index.php on line 169

$url = htmlspecialchars($record["picurl"]);

$url2 = trim($url);
$size = GetImageSize($url2);

if ($size[0] > "350")
{
echo "<IMG SRC=$url width=\"350\" border=3 vspace=4>";
}
else
{
echo "<IMG SRC=$url $size[3]; border=3 vspace=4>";
}

please help.. i know the url to the pic is valid, cuz i can see the pic if i copu and paste into browser.

I'm betting the the path is incorrect. Try using a relative path for the image file and see if it works.

PHP does not use the same doc root as your domain IF you are using a virtual domain.

So, if the apache (assuming) root is something like: /var/www/html/DOMAIN , and the PHP doc root is something like: /var/www/html the path will not work correctly.

You can try a small trick like: $root = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["DOCUMENT_ROOT"];

then do:

$image = $root . "/image/" . $filename;

GetImageSize("$image");

That last part is a bit of a hack, but sometimes it'll work.

It's most certainly a path problem though.
