[SOLVED] php image help

[40esp]

Im trying to follow a turorial located at: http://www.white-hat-web-design.co.uk/articles/php-image-resizing.php to resize images being uploaded.

 

The tutorial says to use:

 

<?php
   if( isset($_POST['submit']) ) {
      include('SimpleImage.php');
      $image = new SimpleImage();
      $image->load($_FILES['uploaded_image']['tmp_name']);
      $image->resizeToWidth(150);
      $image->output();
   } else {
?>

 

I've modified it to my needs as so:

 

<?php
   if( isset($_POST['upload']) ) {
      include('resize.php');
      $image = new SimpleImage();
      $image->load($_FILES['uploaded_image']['tmp_name']);
      $image->resizeToWidth(150);
      $image->output();
   }
?>

 

but there is no option to output it to a specific directory... I don't understand what to do. Anyhelp would be appreciated.

Thanks

The first 4 code examples at the tutorial link you posted show how to save an image to a file instead of outputting it.

Yeah, it specifically shows the save() method.

How would I write it then? would i specify where to save the original upload before that script? can someone throw an example my way?

[DarkWater]

Well, this is the save method:

function save($filename, $image_type=IMAGETYPE_JPEG, $compression=75, $permissions=null)

 

So therefore, you can do:

$image->save("picture2.png", IMG_PNG, 100, 755);

 

That'll give you a PNG at picture2.png, with 100% compression (though I don't think you can use compression with PNG in this class), and you'll CHMOD it to 755.  But think it's a bit unnecessary, and it may cause permission problems, so you can probably get away with:

 

$image->save("picture2.png", IMG_PNG);

[40esp]

is there anyway in the save method that i could maintain the original filename?

 

Thanks so much for everything so far.

[DarkWater]

Yeah, just put the original filename into the function call, lol.

[40esp]

I know php but not to that extent in simpler terms.

 

I dont know how to approach that basically.

 

Im sorry 

[DarkWater]

Didn't realize you were using it with image uploads.  This'll be the easier route:

 

$image->save($_FILES['uploaded_image']['name'], $image->image_type);
