using php to show an image on MAC

[sansid3]

I think the way to open and show a file is:
<?php
$src=ImageCreateFromJPEG('photo33.jpg');
imagejpeg($src);
?>

but it does not work:
PHP Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg(photo33.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /Users/anne/Sites/sortdata/test2.php on line 2
(the line with ImageCreateFromJPEG)
this on mac OS 10.3.4

I set test2.php to be a readwrite file from anywhere just in case that is the problem.

theHTML equivalent with a gif file in the same directory.
<IMG SRC="photo33.gif">
and that works fine.

Any suggestion about what I am doing wrong?
JPEG is supported in this version of php 4.3.6

What are you trying to do?

It looks like you're trying to open a jpeg file, convert the data into GD's internal format, then convert the data back into jpeg format. That seems like a rather pointless exercise.

If you intend to extend this example with other transformations, keep in mind the following:

• You should check to see that the create function was able to fetch the data. Pay attention to the manual, which explains how.

• If you intend to display this in a Web browser, you have to set the content-type header appropriately or the browser won't know what to do with the data.

• PHP does not revoke the laws of HTML. You can't mingle image data with HTML. Images are always, always, always fetched through referral (the img tag), not by embedding.
