[Resolved] " Unsupported operand types "

           $pic_width = getimagesize("images/".$row[13]);


            if ($row[13]<>NULL){
               $textwidth = (630-$pic_width);   //the error is here

How can it get the result of 630 minus the value of $pic_width ?

           $pic_width = getimagesize("images/".$row[13]);


            if ($row[13]<>NULL){ //actually the error is here
               $textwidth = (630-$pic_width); 
 

what exactly is the <> supposed to be checking??
if you mean is equal to, it should be ==
if its not equal to, it should be !=

The error is in the next line, I am an ex-VB programmer, and I use <> instead of !=, it works anyway! (try it yourself).

If the field $row[13]; is not null it means there is a picture for that register in the DataBase.

The error is in this line:

$textwidth = (630-$pic_width);

if instead of typing $textwidth = (630-$pic_width) i type $textwidth = 500; it works fine!!

Any hints?

How stupid I am!! getImageSize returns an array!!

The width of the picture is contained in the first element of the array, it should be pic_witdh[0];

Now it works

Thank you anyway for your help!!
