image watermarking problem

    //Create a jpeg out of the modified picture
    switch($fileType)
    {
        // remember we don't need gif any more, so we use only png or jpeg.
        // See the upsaple code immediately above to see how we handle gifs
        case('png'):
            //header("Content-type: image/png");
            imagepng ($sourcefile_id);
        break;
       
        default:
            //header("Content-type: image/jpg");
            if(imagejpeg ($sourcefile_id,$saveFile))
            {
            }
        //echo "<img src='$saveFile'>";
    }       
     
    imagedestroy($sourcefile_id);
    imagedestroy($watermarkfile_id);
    return true;
}
?>

Thats my code so far but all i get is this.

"; } imagedestroy($sourcefile_id); imagedestroy($watermarkfile_id); return true; } ?>

now it says

 

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/www/********.com/profile.php on line 6

 

The line is

$watermarkfile = '/8.png'

I think I have messed it up lol. All i wanted was for when someone uploaded a file, it would instantly put a watermark onto the file.

Your code works perfectly. Puts a watermark in the middle of the background picture. Just make sure you end all statements with a colon.

 

This is your problem.

 

$sourcefile = 'background.jpg';
$watermarkfile = 'watermark.png';
$saveFile = 'new.png';

 

Make sure to change the names.

 

Just one thing, why do you have variables being passed to the function if you are just gonna overwrite them later?
