[Resolved] Help with imagemagick (-compose over -gravity)

[ainars]

I spent the whole day trying to add watermarks to images. It works, but only in this way:

==============
$cfgComposite = '/usr/bin/X11/composite';
$cfgLogoPlacement = 'south';
$cfgImageLogo = '/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/watermark.png';
$thumbFileName = '/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/modules/gal/album/album1/b13.jpg';

$thumbFileName1 = '/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/modules/gal/album/album1/b13.jpg';

When I try to add variables, nothing happends:

$userdata=cookiedecode($user);
$username = $userdata[1];
$folder = $username{0};
$path = '/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/modules/gal/album/';
$picture = '$image';
$cfgComposite = '/usr/bin/X11/composite';
$cfgLogoPlacement = 'south';
$cfgImageLogo = '/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/watermark.png';
#$thumbFileName = $path . $folder. $picture;
#$thumbFileName1 = $path . $folder. $picture;

exec($cfgComposite . ' -compose over -gravity ' . $cfgLogoPlacement . ' ' . $cfgImageLogo . ' ' . $thumbFileName . ' ' . $thumbFileName1);

I changed this script many times to get it work, but no success...

Any idea?

Putting your code in [php] tags so that its syntax is highlighted:

$userdata=cookiedecode($user);
$username = $userdata[1];
$folder = $username{0};
$path = '/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/modules/gal/album/';
$picture = '$image';
$cfgComposite = '/usr/bin/X11/composite';
$cfgLogoPlacement = 'south';
$cfgImageLogo = '/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/watermark.png';
#$thumbFileName = $path . $folder. $picture;
#$thumbFileName1 = $path . $folder. $picture;
exec($cfgComposite . ' -compose over -gravity ' . $cfgLogoPlacement . ' ' . $cfgImageLogo . ' ' . $thumbFileName . ' ' . $thumbFileName1); 

No, it's not going to work if you comment out the variables you're trying to use.

i resolvved the problem. it works if I write variables in this way:

\"$cfgLogoPlacement\",

but not

'$cfgLogoPlacement'

or

. $cfgLogoPlacement .
