Question

I have a model called photos_model.php which does the backend work to upload images to s3

here is the function that uploads to s3

public function uploadPhoto($photo){
    $this->load->model("misc_model");

    //required vars
    $tmp_name = $photo["tmp_name"];
    $name = $photo["name"];
    $type = $photo["type"];
    $size = $photo["size"];
    $error_upload = $photo["error"];


    $random_str = $this->misc_model->generateRandomNumber(20, true, true);

    $this->s3->putBucket($this->config->item("bucket"), S3::ACL_PUBLIC_READ);

    if($this->s3->putObjectFile($tmp_name, $this->config->item("bucket") , 'photos/'.$random_str.".jpg", S3::ACL_PUBLIC_READ) ){
        echo 'ok';
    }else{
        echo 'fail';
    }

}

the s3 library:

taken from here http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/how-to-use-amazon-s3-php-to-dynamically-store-and-manage-files-with-ease/

this will work on my local machine MAC OS X Lion

but when i try the script on an amazon ec2 machine it simply doesnt print anything… like nothing…

Solution:

its always the error_log… it was reporting PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagecreatefromjpeg() so i installed GD library and we’re good
