GETIMAGESIZE PROBLEM

phpnow

Hellow everyone...I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I will explain the problem I am having...please let me know if you have any ideas.

Problem:

Ok...I have an upload script that uploads photos into a file. The PATH to said photo is stored in MySql, not the photo itself.

Then I have a script that lets visitors look at the photos that have been uploaded by called to said photos path in the MySql DB.

I am using ImageMagick to change the dimensions of the photo on the fly so they are not to large for the page.

The problem I am having is this:

Photo_File/birdPhotos_a5.jpg
Warning: getimagesize(/Photo_File/birdPhotos_a5.jpg) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/xbbTT_098/html/Photo_File/the_photo.php on line 47

Does anyone know what would cause this? The path is correct. The files are there? Here is the code...maybe someone will see something I am not seeing.

$max_width = "350";
$convertBigPhoto = $thisPhotoView[fullSizePath];
// get the current info on the file
$current_size = getimagesize($convertBigPhoto);
$current_img_width = $current_size[0];
$current_img_height = $current_size[1];
$image_base = explode(".", $convertBigPhoto);

//testing
echo "$current_img_width";

// this part gets the new thumbnail name
$image_basename = $image_base[0];
$image_ext = $image_base[1];
$thumb_name = $image_basename."-mid.".$image_ext;

// determine if the image actually needs to be resized
// and if it does, get the new height for it
if ($current_img_width > $max_width) {
$too_big_diff_ratio = $current_img_width/$max_width;
$new_img_width = $max_width;
$new_img_height = round($current_img_height/$too_big_diff_ratio);

// presto chango alacazam
$make_magick = system("/usr/bin/convert -geometry $new_img_width x $new_img_height $convertBigPhoto $thumb_name", $retval);

Either the file is indeed not there, or you don't have proper access.

Could it be that you want to look in './' and not in '/'?

phpnow

Hmm, I thought the same thing and tried that. Here is the really weird thing. The photo actually appears and is shown on the page. Along with the error that appears right above the photo. Like I said the photo appears, but it doesnt resize. I checked the permission and they are 777 so it should be working, roght?

I'd echo the string containing the full path and filename to the photo used for getimagesize, and then echo the src attribute value right after the img is displayed. Big chance they're not the same.

phpnow

Tried that....and it is what it should be...thats the really weird part. I am running PHP5 dont know if that makes a difference or not.

johanafm

The path may be relative to different directories when requested from the browser (inside the image element) and when used inside a script.

Just one of many possibilities where it's not the same thing. Assume webroot is /www/data

<img src="/images/img.jpg"/>

This always refer to /www/data/images/img.jpg

But for http://domain.com/index.php

getimagesize('/images/img.jpg');

You are not checking /www/data/images. You are looking inside /images

I think I tried hard coding it like this yesterday and stilled had the same error message. Thats what is driving me nuts.

getimagesize(/home/content/xbbTT_098/html/Photo_File/the_photo.php );

I will try it again real fast....Thanks for your input

phpnow

No luck at all....still not working....man this is driving me NUTS....What could it be???

phpnow

Could this be an issue with being on a shared hosting plan? Or maybe a setting or restriction in the PHP.INI file ?

phpnow

YIPPIE....I got it working. You were right. It was a path issue. For some reason if I i stored the info in the DB with the directoryName/File_Uploaded.jpg and then called for that in a query it didnt work, but when I changed how it was stored in the DB to just the File_Uploaded.jpg name and then queried it from mysql it worked fine...no errors. whats weird is if I do this in PHP 4 or below it works fine the way I had. Once I take the same scripts and run it using PHP5 it stops working unless I make those changes listed above.

Simply weird....

Thanks again for all your help....new eyes on something always make the differnce. Specially when they know more the me...lol.

Thanks!
