Help on error message in php coding. Don't understand what it means.

Warning: rename(./data/media/1/guides.jpg,./data/media/1/guides.jpg.shd) [function.rename]: No such file or directory in /home/virtual/site178/fst/var/www/html/4images/includes/annotate.php on line 65

I am using 4 images and wanted to use watermark - but I got this problem .. can anyone figure out what the error means? In layman terms .. dun understnad what the error is talking about

I think you need quotes around the path and file names in the function call.

[tradertt]

Do you mean this?

else {
$command = $convert_options['convert_path']." -quality ".$ann_image_quality." -antialias -density 90 -font $ann_font_path -fill $ann_shadow_color -pointsize $ann_font_size -draw \"text $h_offset,$v_offset '$ann_text'\" \"$ann_src\" \"$ann_dest\"";
system($command);

$file_shd = $ann_dest.".shd";
rename($ann_dest, $file_shd);
$h_offset = $h_offset - $shadow_offset;
$v_offset = $v_offset - $shadow_offset;

$command = $convert_options['convert_path']." -quality ".$ann_image_quality." -antialias -density 90 -font $ann_font_path -fill $ann_fill_color -pointsize $ann_font_size -draw \"text $h_offset,$v_offset '$ann_text'\" \"$file_shd\" \"$ann_dest\"";
system($command);
@chmod($ann_dest, CHMOD_FILES);
@unlink($file_shd);

Where should I add the quotes?

[rrijnders]

Hmm, from your first message I couldn't tell that you were using variables in the rename function call, so quotes may not be the issue.

What the error message is saying is that the source file you are specifying is not there. I notice that you are using "./" notation at the beginning of the file path. Is the file and path really relative to the script directory?

[tradertt]

if ($direct_upload) {
$ann_src = MEDIA_PATH."/".$cat_id."/".$new_name;
$ann_dest = MEDIA_PATH."/".$cat_id."/".$new_name;
}
else {
$ann_src = MEDIA_TEMP_PATH."/".$new_name;
$ann_dest = MEDIA_TEMP_PATH."/".$new_name;
}
if (annotate_image($ann_src, $ann_dest)) {
$annotated = 1;

Is this the part? I did not code this and I have no knowledge of php .... any help?

This is the txt file of the modification I did to 4images. Please see if you can spot any mistakes ...

[rrijnders]

1st, make sure that your source image is where it should be and that it's file name is the same as the one the program is looking for (case matters).

If that's ok, then you obviously have a disconnect between what MEDIA_PATH is defined as and where the image really is. The problem may be that you are on a virtual server. The installed package may assume that the intallation directory is one place when the actual directory path is more like:

/home/virtual/site178/fst/var/www/html/

[tradertt]

where would I need to chg to make it a absolute directory path?

[rrijnders]

I am guessing that since the application has a an admin utility, there is probably someplace within that to set your MEIDIA_PATH for the application.

If not, it is probably set in the "/4images/admin/settings.php" file.
