Question

I have a thumb generator script that need me to use define to indicate the path of the folder … I’m picking a it from a mySQL fild in the form of /images/galleries/name/imagem.jpg

I think I’m doing this the noob way … there must be a better way of doing this!

while($r3 = mysql_fetch_array($e3)){ 
    $path = $r3['pathURLMult'];
    $ped = explode("/", $path);
    $path2 = $ped[0] . "/" . $ped[1] . "/" . $ped[2] . "/";
    define("FOLDER_IMAGES","$path2");
    $imagem = $ped[3];
    echo "<img src=\"getimage.php?img=$imagem&w=280&h=180\" width=\"280\" height=\"180\" />";
}

Can someone help ? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Use pathinfo();

Try this:

while($r3 = mysql_fetch_array($e3)){ 
    $pathinfo = pathinfo($r3['pathURLMult']);
    define("FOLDER_IMAGES",$pathinfo['dirname']);
    echo "<img src=\"getimage.php?img=".$pathinfo['filename']."&w=280&h=180\" width=\"280\" height=\"180\" />";
}
