EDIT: Problem solved:
Stupid little twit that I am, I had neglected to give the file a name. $testSiteDir was a path with no filename. How can a file be saved without a name! D’Oh!
sorry 😉

I know there’s lots of similar questions around and I’ve been reading through them but since I’ve sort of had to build a hybrid of all the tutorials and articles I’ve got some code which I hoped would work but doesn’t.

I did at one point manage to create copies of the images into the folder I wanted using the copy() function to move it, which worked. But since I want to resize it I need to use GD (as far as I can tell)

here’s my code:

if (is_dir($BooksDir)) {
if ($dh = opendir($BooksDir)) {
    while (($folder = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
        $count++;
        $exclude = array('.','..','etc.');
        if (!in_array($folder, $exclude)){
            echo '<div ' . ($count&1 ? 'class="oddrow"' : 'class="evenrow"') . '>';
            echo $folder . "<br/>" . $count;
            $subDir = $BooksDir . '/' . $folder;
            $filesnfolders = scandir($subDir);
            foreach ($filesnfolders as $file) {
                $ext = pathinfo($file, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
                if ($ext == 'jpg' || $ext == 'jpeg' || $ext == 'png' || $ext == 'gif') {
                    if ($ext == 'jpg' || $ext == 'jpeg') {
                        $origimg = imagecreatefromjpeg($subDir. '/' . $file);
                        $thHeight = 100;
                        $thWidth = 100;
                        $mainWidth = imagesx( $origimg );
                        $mainHeight = imagesy( $origimg );
                        $myThumbnail = imagecreatetruecolor($thWidth, $thHeight);
                        imagecopyresampled( $myThumbnail, $origimg, 0, 0, 0, 0, $thumbWidth, $thumbHeight, $mainWidth, $mainHeight );
                        imagejpeg( $myThumbnail, $testSiteDir );
                    }
                }
            }
            echo '</div>';
        }
    }
    closedir($dh);
}

}

When I try using the above I get the error that I don’t have permission to write to that folder: Unable to open ‘C:/xampp/htdocs/test’ for writing: Permission denied in…

I’ve got three text books and read a bunch of articles about images and php, I haven’t seen anywhere where it tells me what to do

what’s going wrong 🙂

    Setting write permissions on Windows can be less than obvious.

    Try these instructions http://drupal.org/node/202491 and see how you get on.

    If you use Xampp as a PHP installation, it usually seems to propagate write permissions through the whole directory structure of htdocs. Very handy. Not sure why it hasn’t done it for you.

    EDIT: just noticed that the Drupal page relates to IIS. Maybe this will be better…
    Apache on windows server can't write to file
