I was wondering if anyone would be able to advise me, I have a script which a user can fill out some simple fields and upload an image to the server the name of which is put into a mysql db. The script also generates a random name for the file (to avoid the same filename twice!)
What I am trying to make it do is generate a thumbnail of the same random name it generates for the larger image and store it in a subdirectory on the server.. Which is the bit that is confusing me.. Could someone perhaps take a look at my code and see what I'm doing wrong!?
Code:
<?php
//This is the directory where images will be saved
$target = "imagesr/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['photo']['name']);
// Connects to your Database
$host = "localhost";
$name = "name";
$pass = "pass";
$dbname = "dbname";
$dbi = mysql_connect($host,$name,$pass) or
die("I cannot connect to the database. Error :" . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($dbname,$dbi);
//This gets all the other information from the form
$name=$_POST['name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$phone=$_POST['phone'];
$pic=($_FILES['photo']['name']);
//random file stuff
//This function separates the extension from the rest of the file name and returns it
function findexts ($filename)
{
$filename = strtolower($filename) ;
$exts = split("[/\\.]", $filename) ;
$n = count($exts)-1;
$exts = $exts[$n];
return $exts;
}
//This applies the function to our file
$ext = findexts ($_FILES['photo']['name']) ;
//This line assigns a random number to a variable. You could also use a timestamp here if you prefer.
$ran = rand () ;
//This takes the random number (or timestamp) you generated and adds a . on the end, so it is ready of the file extension to be appended.
$ran2 = $ran.".";
//This assigns the subdirectory you want to save into... make sure it exists!
$target = "imagesrob/";
//This combines the directory, the random file name, and the extension
$target = $target . $ran2.$ext;
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], $target))
{
echo "The file has been uploaded as ".$ran2.$ext;
}
else
{
echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
}
//endofrandom
//resizing image
//Name you want to save your file as
$save = '$ran2$ext';
$file = '$ran2$ext';
echo "Creating file: $save";
$size = 0.45;
//header('Content-type: image/jpeg') ;
list($width, $height) = getimagesize($file) ;
$modwidth = $width * $size;
$modheight = $height * $size;
$tn = imagecreatetruecolor($modwidth, $modheight) ;
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg($file) ;
imagecopyresampled($tn, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $modwidth, $modheight, $width, $height) ;
// Here we are saving the .jpg, you can make this gif or png if you want
//the file name is set above, and the quality is set to 100%
imagejpeg($tn, $save, 100) ;
?>
I have just added this code, that I found on the site, well this function, although it doesnt seem to be working, its not a million miles off i dont think...
Code:
<?php
$dest_pict = "imagesrob/thumbs/$ran2.jpg";
$pict = "$ran$ext";
$size_in_pixel_x = "100";
$size_in_pixel_y = "100";
function resize ( $pict, $dest_pict, $size_in_pixel_x, $size_in_pixel_y )
{
if ( !file_exists ( $pict ) )
{
die ( trigger_error ( 'No such file or directory', E_USER_ERROR ) );
}
$path = pathinfo($pict);
switch ( strtolower ( $path["extension"] ) )
{
case "jpeg":
case "jpg":
$handle = imagecreatefromjpeg ( $pict );
break;
case "gif":
$handle = imagecreatefromgif ( $pict );
break;
case "png":
$handle = imagecreatefrompng ( $pict );
break;
default:
die ( trigger_error ( 'Supplied file is not a valid image resource (' . $path['basename'] . ')', E_USER_ERROR ) );
break;
}
if ( empty ( $handle ) )
{
die ( trigger_error ( 'Unable to create image (' . $path['basename'] . ')', E_USER_ERROR ) );
}
$x = imagesx ( $handle );
$y = imagesy ( $handle );
if ( $x / $size_in_pixel_x > $y / $size_in_pixel_y )
{
$rate = $x / $size_in_pixel_x;
}
else
{
$rate = $y / $size_in_pixel_y;
}
$final_x = $x / $rate;
$final_y = $y / $rate;
if ( $final_x > $x )
{
$final_x = $x;
$final_y = $y;
}
$final_x = ceil ( $final_x );
$final_y = ceil ( $final_y );
$black_picture = imageCreatetruecolor ( $final_x, $final_y );
imagefill ( $black_picture, 0, 0, imagecolorallocate ( $black_picture, 255, 255, 255 ) );
imagecopyresampled ( $black_picture, $handle, 0, 0, 0, 0,$final_x, $final_y, $x, $y );
if ( !@imagejpeg ( $black_picture, $dest_pict.'/mini_'.$pict, $size_in_pixel_x ) )
{
imagejpeg ( $black_picture, $dest_pict, '100' );
imagedestroy ( $handle );
imagedestroy ( $black_picture );
}
}
//This is the directory where images will be saved
$target = "imagesrob/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['photo']['name']);
// Connects to your Database
$host = "localhost";
$name = "dbpw";

$dbi = mysql_connect($host,$name,$pass) or

mysql_select_db($dbname,$dbi);
//This gets all the other information from the form
$name=$_POST['name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];

$pic=($_FILES['photo']['name']);
//random file stuff

//endofrandom
}
?>

I'm not sure if the function is in the wrong place or even if it will work like I want it to, Is it possible for the random name created when the image is saved to be passed to the thumbnail function and saved with the same name in a different location?
Is it possible in php for the code to do what I am trying to make it do? by that I mean pass the random filename it has generated to the thumbnail function which renames the file and saves it in a different directory?

thanks for reading!
Yes. But you aren't really doing that with the code you posted. Was there more to it?
is the positioning of the function in the right place?
Should that code work do you think? I've had the upload/create random name and submit to db bit working fine just not the thumbnail to seperate folder bit!
