GD help when saving file

[hlstriker]

I am creating images via GD perfectly but there is only one problem.

 

When I right click the image and click "Save image as...", the filename will be 'image.php.jpeg'.

 

Is there a way I can make this display as only 'image.jpeg'?

I'm not sure but there must be a GD library function, which allows us to set the name of the image.

when I "Save as.." the filename is in an editable text field, and I can change it.  As in, remove the current extension, so it only saves as blah.jpg.  If for some reason you can't do that, you can rename it after the file is saved, by rightclick > rename or rightclick > properties (windows).

Alternatively...since the issue is that the image is really a php file generating an image and sending it as a raw image to the browser, you could have your script save the file on the server as blah.jpg instead of outputting it, and then have the script redirect to the saved image.

Late to reply to this but thought it may serve as useful for anyone hitting on this as I did from Google.

 

A quick and easy way to force the browser to allow you to save as a particular filename and/or extension is to pass the filename and extension into the URL (or form action depending on how you are generating the image)

 

eg as a form post

<form name="myform" action="picgenerator.php?name=thepic.jpg" method="post">...

 

or as just a URL (in the querystring)

http://www.mywebsite.com/picgenerator.php?name=thepic.jpg

 

Now, right-clicking on the image and choosing "Save as" (or equivalent, depending on which browser you are using) will save the file as a jpeg defaulting to the name thepic.jpg

 

Works for all browsers (as far as I know)
