Copy Image To directory After Automatically Scaling It

[dlebowski]

Does anyone know of a way to automatically scale an image and then copy that image to a new directory following an import?  My image import works great, but I need it to create a copy that is scaled down and then save it to a different directory.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks as usual for any help you can provide!

This is how i upload images and create 2 resized images.  1 image is the full size image i want (still resized) and the other is a thumbnail.

 

I also insert the image names in to a database

 

<?php 
$idir = "../images/gallery/full/";   // Path To Images Directory 
$tdir = "../images/gallery/thumbs/";   // Path To Thumbnails Directory 
$twidth = "100";   // Maximum Width For Thumbnail Images 
$theight = "75";   // Maximum Height For Thumbnail Images 
$ldir = "../images/gallery/large/";   // Path To Thumbnails Directory 
$lwidth = "400";   // Maximum Width For Thumbnail Images 
$lheight = "300";   // Maximum Height For Thumbnail Images

$pic=($_FILES['imagefile']['name']);
$gallery = $_POST['gallery'];

if (!isset($_POST['gallery'])) {
?> 
<fieldset>
    <legend><b>Image Gallery Upload</b></legend>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<? $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">  
    <p style="margin-left:10px;">Gallery to upload to:<br />
    <select name="gallery" size="1">
    	<option value="jack">Jack</option> 
    	<option value="honeylands">Honeylands</option> 
    	<option value="events">Events</option> 
    	<option value="art">Art Auction</option> 
    </select>
    	    <p style="margin-left:10px;">Image to upload:<br />
    	    <input type="file" name="imagefile" style="width:450px" /><br /> 
    	    <P><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload Image" class="submit-button" style="margin-left:10px;" /></p>
    	</form>
</fieldset><br /> 
<?}

    if ($_FILES['imagefile']['type'] == "image/jpg" || $_FILES['imagefile']['type'] == "image/jpeg" || $_FILES['imagefile']['type'] == "image/pjpeg") { 
        $file_ext = strrchr($_FILES['imagefile']['name'], '.');   // Get The File Extention In The Format Of , For Instance, .jpg, .gif or .php

Thanks man.  I think this will be perfect.  The next question I have for you is how do you go about uploading hundreds of images at once?  Do you use a java applet to upload an entire directory?  Thanks again!

[Jessica]

Why don't you use FTP to upload them, and then run a php script to loop through the directory and resize?

[dlebowski]

I need my client to be able to upload them once they log into the site.  FTP would be difficult for them to use. 

[Jessica]

Why would it be hard for them to use? I've given clients FTP access to their own folder on my server before.

[dlebowski]

I want them to be able to run it from within the application.  Are you suggesting just creating a link from within the application for them to click on and allow them to upload their images into the directory through the app?  I have thought about this a little, but have heard their is security issues with doing this.  I guess I could force them to enter in their login and password again.  Once they click on the link.  Is this what you had in mind? 

[Jessica]

No, nevermind. Sorry.

[dlebowski]

Not a problem.  Thanks for the suggestion.  I have been struggling with this for a week or so now!
