image upload & resize & store

[fumanshu]

I know there's been a lot of entries on this type of thing and I can do the file upoad and image resize seperately but when I try to UPLOAD an image, RESIZE it and then store it - it all goes wrong. Here is what I have:

// thumbnail sizes
$thumb_max_width = 120;
$thumb_max_height = 120;
$thumb_quality = 90;

$size = getimagesize($my_photo);

$input_image = imagecreatefromjpeg($my_photo);

$ratio = min($thumb_max_width,$size[0],$thumb_max_height/$size[1]);

$output_image = ImageCreate(round($size[0] $ratio),round($size[1] $ratio));

imagecopyresized($output_image, $input_image, 0, 0, 0, 0, round($size[0] $ratio), round($size[1] $ratio), $size[0], $size[1]);

// create output image
$new_photo = imagejpeg $output_image,$output_file,$thumb_quality);

@copy($new_photo, "/home/xxx/xxx/photos/")
or die("Couldn't copy the thumbnail photo!");

All this seems to do is display the thumbnail - I just want it to store the newly resized photo on the server.

Any advise would be appreciated.

Try using 'convert' of ImageMagick.

can't install imagemagik - need to use GD...

I was wondering why you first create the picture and then copy it. Cant you just use the Imagejpeg() function to save it?

Imagejpeg($output_image, "/home/xxx/xxx/photos/imagename.jpg",$thumb_quality);

Noticed you didnt specify imagename in your @copy(...
If you specify that, it could work too...

That's sorted it out - thanks very much.
