create thumbnails after upload

[woodplease]

hey,

 

i have some code that uploads an image to a directory, and then creates a thumbnail of that image and stores that in another directory. The uploading of the file works, however after re-sizing the image, i get an error

"Warning: imagejpeg() [function.imagejpeg]: Unable to open './images/album_thumb/' for writing: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\kens\test2.php on line 43".

The directory is there, so i'm not sure why i'm getting the error. Any ideas?

 

$src =  ($target.$name.".jpg"); 
$dest = "./images/album_thumb/";

$img = imagecreatefromjpeg($src);
	    $width = imagesx($img);
	    $height = imagesy($img);
		$thumbWidth = 10;
	    $new_width = $thumbWidth;
	    $new_height = floor($height * ($thumbWidth / $width));
	    $tmp_img = imagecreatetruecolor($new_width, $new_height);
	    imagecopyresampled($tmp_img, $img, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_width, $new_height, $width, $height);
	    imagejpeg($tmp_img, $dest);
      	    imagedestroy($tmp_img);
	    imagedestroy($img);

 

$target is the the location of the file from the upload part of the script, and $name is the name of the file

Simple test (tell us what happens)...

 

$src =  ($target.$name.".jpg");
echo $src;
?>
<img src="<?php echo $src; ?>">
<?php

it outputs "/images/album_photos/img2059005505.jpg" and then displays the image, so its definitely selecting the right image.

try changing this...

$dest = "./images/album_thumb/";

 

to this...

 

$dest = "/images/album_thumb/";

i've tried that, no luck. i've even created a hyperlink to that location to check its accessible, which it is.

i've sorted it now, i needed to put the destination in "imagejpeg($tmp_img, "/images/photo_thumbs"). Not sure why it wouldnt let me use the variable though

[litebearer]

why???

perhaps...

$dest = "./images/album_thumb/";

while the actual folder that works is...

"/images/photo_thumbs"

Obviously NOT the same folder
