Trying to specify MAX size and upload thumbnail along the way

[siwelis]

Using the GD Library, I'm trying to upload an image (but set to a MAX size), then copy that image and make a thumbnail set to a max size as well... I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions?

 

//start testing phase PHP script

//using "SELECT OPTION" drop down list on form

//determine file type for proper image resizing

if ($_POST['file_type'] == "JPG"){

echo "File Type was JPG";

$filetype = "JPG";

} elseif ($_POST['file_type'] == "GIF"){

echo "File Type was GIF";

$filetype = "GIF";

} elseif ($_POST['file_type'] == "PNG"){

echo "File Type was PNG";

$filetype = "PNG";

}

 

 

//so "$srce1" BELOW knows what type of file to create

if ($filetype == JPG){

$createimage = imagecreatefromjpeg;

} elseif ($filetype == GIF){

$createimage = imagecreatefromgif;

} elseif ($filetype == PNG){

$createimage = imagecreatefrompng;

}

// This is the temporary file created by PHP

$uploadedfile = $_FILES['article_img']['tmp_name'];

 

// Create an Image from it so we can do the resize

$srce1 = $createimage($uploadedfile);

// Get image original size

list($width,$height)=getimagesize($uploadedfile);

 

// set image height/width

$newwidth=600;

$newheight=($height/$width)*600;

$tmp=imagecreatetruecolor($newwidth,$newheight);

 

// this line actually does the image resizing, copying from the original

// image into the $tmp image

imagecopyresampled($tmp,$srce1,0,0,0,0,$newwidth,$newheight,$width,$height);

 

// now write the resized image to disk. I have assumed that you want the

// resized, uploaded image file to reside in the ./images subdirectory.

$filename = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."images/". $_FILES['article_img']['name'];

imagejpeg($tmp,$filename,100);

 

imagedestroy($srce1);

imagedestroy($tmp);

 

// NOTE: PHP will clean up the temp file it created when the request

// has completed.

//end testing phase php script

//all code below here works

 

 

//determine folder to upload images to and also

//post in SQL column "article_photo" the image location on server

$target_path = "/".images."/".$_POST['cat_id']."/";

 

$target_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].$target_path . basename( $_FILES['article_img']['name']);

 

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['article_img']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {

    echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['article_img']['name']).

    " has been uploaded";

$folder = "http://www.chexed.com/images/".$_POST['cat_id']."/".$_FILES['article_img']['name'];

} else{

//Give instruction in case image not uploaded

    echo "No Image File was uploaded.";

$folder = "0";

}
