imagegif() and GD library issue

[oaskedal]

Hi!

Why do I get this errormessage when trying to upload a image with GD?

Warning: imagegif() [function.imagegif]: Unable to open 'path is here' for writing in 'path to scriptname here' on line..

I've checked the webserver and all GD library (also support GIF) are enabled and installed correct.

I use this code, but maybe it is incorrect:

if( !empty($_FILES['imagefile']['name']) ) {

	 $tmpName = $_FILES['imagefile']['tmp_name'];


	 $filetype = $_FILES['imagefile']['type']; 
	 $imgName = $_FILES['imagefile']['name'];


   $imgPath = 'images/webimages/' . $imgName;


[code=php]if ( strstr($filetype, 'image/gif') ){ 

   $mainImage = imagecreatefromgif($tmpName); 

$width = 135;
$height = 75;

$mainWidth = imagesx($mainImage);
$mainHeight = imagesy($mainImage);

$image_p = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);

imagecopyresampled($image_p, $mainImage, 0, 0, 0, 0, $width, $height, $mainWidth, $mainHeight);

imagegif($image_p, $imagePath, 80);  

$picture = $imgName; //stored in my database

if (!imagegif) {

echo "Did not manage to copy";

}

I did manage to get the errormessage away. Something earlier in my script prevented it from prosessing the way i should.

But, now the image outputs in raw format on my confirmation site, not copying it to the path as I thought i would. Why is that ? Do I need a header or something.

I must admit, I'm quit new in the usage of GD...
