PLEASE**NEED HELP CREATING THUMBNAIL **

[becky155]

Hi, I have been trying over and over again to create thumbnails and save them in a separate folder when the image is uploaded but I have not been successful. I am so, so frustrated! PLEASE, PLEASE if anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it. I have managed to write a program that successfully uploads the image to the server and saves a copy in my database but I am not sure what to do next.

My upload code is:

if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) && ($_POST["MM_insert"] == "Form"))

{

//This function separates the extension from the rest of the file name and returns it

function findexts2 ($filename2)

{

$filename2 = strtolower($filename2) ;

$exts2 = split("[/\\.]", $filename2) ;

 

$n2 = count($exts2)-1;

$exts2 = $exts2[$n2];

return $exts2;

}

function findexts2B ($filename2B)

{

$filename2B = strtolower($filename2B) ;

$exts2B = split("[/\\.]", $filename2B) ;

$n2B = count($exts2B)-1;

$exts2B = $exts2B[$n2B];

return $exts2B;

}

 

//This applies the function to our file

$ext2 = findexts2 ($_FILES['photo2']['name']);

$ext2B = findexts2B ($_FILES['photo2B']['name']);

 

//This line assigns a random number to a variable. You could also use a timestamp here if you prefer.

$ran3 = rand () ;

$ran3B = rand () ;

 

//This takes the random number (or timestamp) you generated and adds a . on the end, so it is ready of the file extension to be appended.

$ran4 = $ran3.".";

$ran4B = $ran3B.".";

 

//Upload to the server

$target = "/IMAGES/targetfile/";

$target2 = $target . $ran4.$ext2;

$targetB2 = "IMAGES/targetfile/";

$target2B = $targetB2 . $ran4B.$ext2B;

 

//This gets all the other information from the form

$pic2 = $ran4.$ext2;

$pic2B = $ran4B.$ext2B;

 

//This checks if the file is a php file

if ($pic2 =="text/php")

{

echo "No PHP files";

$ok=0;

}

if ($pic2B =="text/php")

{

echo "No PHP files";

$ok=0;

}

 

//Check file types

if (($_FILES["photo2"]["type"] == "image/gif")

|| ($_FILES["photo2"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")

|| ($_FILES["photo2"]["type"] == "image/bmp")

&& ($_FILES["photo2"]["size"] < 30000))

 

if (($_FILES["photo2B"]["type"] == "image/gif")

|| ($_FILES["photo2B"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")

|| ($_FILES["photo2B"]["type"] == "image/bmp")

&& ($_FILES["photo2B"]["size"] < 30000))

 

{

 

//Writes the photo to the server

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo2']['tmp_name'], $target2))

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo2B']['tmp_name'], $target2B))

{

$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO Database(Image, Image2) VALUES (%s, %s)",

GetSQLValueString($pic2, "text"),

GetSQLValueString($pic2B, "text"),

 

mysql_select_db($database_database_name, $data_name);

$Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $database_name) or die(mysql_error());

 

$insertGoTo = "test.php";

if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {

$insertGoTo .= (strpos($insertGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";

$insertGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

}

header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo));

}

}

}

 

PLEASE, PLEASE, I NEED HELP  ??? . THANKS IN ADVANCE!

What's the exact problem you're having? Don't know how to start or some different problem?

What I'd suggest doing is getting a thumbnail class and building off of that. It's a slightly complicated process, where you take the uploaded image, move it around to the thumbnail script, and returns that. In your case it'd be much easier to integrate a premade class.
