imagecopyresampled() argument is not a valid Image resource

[surreal5335]

I am trying to crop an image and I used a tutorial showing how to create a new canvas, shrink it 75 by 75, shrink the original image's copy to 1/4 of its size. Then take a cut out of it (75 by 75) out of the center.

 

function small($id) {
// original image location
$img = "photos/original/".$id.".jpeg";

// set our image canvas
$canvas_width = 75;
$canvas_height = 75;

// create a blank canvas
$canvas = imagecreatetruecolor($canvas_width, $canvas_height);

// get width and height of original image
list($img_width, $img_height) = getimagesize($img);

// $original now holds the image in the memory banks
$original = imagecreatefromjpeg($img);

// copy original onto canvas
// 0, 0: sets the x and y position at top left hand corner of $original
// (($canvas_width / 2) * 4)) the * 4 is used to balance the $image_width / 4 to keep the crop in the center
imagecopyresampled($canvas, $orignal, 0, 0, (($img_width / 2) - (($canvas_width / 2) * 4)),
											(($img_height / 2) - (($canvas_height / 2) * 4)),

											$image_width / 4,
											$image_height / 4,
											// fills last parameter of original height and width not scaled down.
											$image_width,
											$image_height
											); // line 38

if(imagejpeg($canvas, 'photos/small/'.$id.'.jpeg', 80)){

	return true;
} else {
	return false;
}
} // end small()

 

The error I am getting from this is:

Warning: imagecopyresampled(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in /home1/royalvil/public_html/photo_voting/photo_fns.php on line 38

 

line 38 has been commented in the code.

Would this error be refering to original images path? Likes it unable to find the image?

I checked the directory path to the image to be copied and its correct.

 

What else could this error be refering to?

 

I appreciate the help

Spelling error in your variable: $orignal

Thanks alot for the help, got rid of the error. My last problem is... while the cropped canvas appears in the folder specified, its completely black. Seems that I am not getting the image from the folder or setting it to the canvas properly. Mind giving me an idea as to how I could remedy this issue?

 

Thanks a lot

imagecreatefromjpeg() only returns false if it cannot create the image, it doesn't throw a fatal error. Verify the $img path actually exists and that $original isn't false after the call.

 

I think the real problem lies with your method of calculating the src_x and src_y parameters though. Try removing the "* 4" part of each. You may want to round the result too..

Thanks for the suggestions,

 

I checked the path for $img and it came out fine.

 

My $original I have not been able to get a reponse back if its true or false.

 

here is the methods I have tried to achieve this:

 

if(!$original) {
	echo "original is false";
} else {
	echo "original is true";
}


if($original == false) {
	echo "original is false";
} else {
	echo "original is true";
}



echo imagecreatefromjpeg($img);

 

I put these inside my small() function so the local variable $original would be accessible.

 

Any suggestions?
