imagemagik not cutting

[russia5]

I am resizing and transferring images from one folder to another. The images are fed to the front end via MySQL. The problem is, I am getting the famous x's for the images after the transfer. A right click tells me that the paths to the images after transfer is correct. Here is the code where I believe the problem is:

<?php 
$imgSize = 100;

$original_max_size = '600x600';
$thumb_size1 = '100x100';
$thumb_size2 = '300x300';

$command = '/usr/bin/convert';

//echo ($command);

// resize for thumbnail 1 size
$current_command = $command.$thumb_size1.' "'.$old.'" '.$thumb1;

//echo ($current_command);

exec($current_command, $retarray, $retval);
// echo $current_command;
if ($retval != 0) // error
{
echo 'error upon resizing for thumbnail 1 : '.$old.' to '.$thumb1;
}

Here is the error code:

error upon resizing for thumbnail 1 : home/russia5/public_html/uploads/1181232172.jpg to home/russia5/public_html/images_thumb1/Girl-ddee-1-20070607.jpg

When the echo ($current_command); is uncommented, I get:

/usr/bin/convert100x100

The only thing I can think of, is convert100x100 is not what I need. Any help would be much appreciated.

While I don't know the syntax for ImageMagick, here's a couple of suggestions:

1. Insert a space between the command and the first parameter

2. Where is $old ever defined?

3. Where is $thumb1 ever defined?

4. Are you sure about that path? As it is, you're telling the script to look for a "home" directory in the current directory. So, if your script is located at http://yoursite.com/convert.php, you're saying the files are in http://yoursite.com/home/russia5/public_html/uploads/ . Try using an absolute path instead of a relative path.

My money's on this one. Shouldn't there be a "-size" switch in there, too?

You might also be interested in experimenting with the [man]imagick[/man] extension.
