I’m trying to resize an image that’s being uploaded on my php form. The picture is being saved but not resizing. Basically, everything is working fine except for the resizing of the image part. I put my code below.

html form with php for re sizing

<?php include "base.php"; ?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 
Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Submit an Album</title>
</head>
<body>

<?php
   if( isset($_POST['submit']) ) {

      include('SimpleImage.php');
      $image = new SimpleImage();
      $image->load($_FILES['albumCover']['tmp_name']);
      $image->resize(150,150);
      $image->output();
   } else {

?>

     <table>
        <tr>
        <td align="center">Submit an Album</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
        <td>
     <table>
        <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="submitAlbumForm.php" method="post">
        <tr>
          <td>Artist Name</td>
          <td><input type="text" name="artistName" size="20">
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>Album Name</td>
          <td><input type="text" name="albumName" size="20">
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
        <tr>
          <td>Release Date</td>
          <td><input type="text" name="releaseDate" size="20">
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>        
        <tr>
          <td>Leak Date</td>
          <td><input type="text" name="leakDate" size="20">
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
        <tr>
          <td>Where It Leaked</td>
          <td><input type="text" name="whereItLeaked" size="20">
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
        <tr>
          <td>Album Cover</td>
          <td><input type="file" name="albumCover">
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>        
          <td></td>
          <td align="right"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add"></td>
        </tr>
        </form>
        </table>
      </td>
    </tr>
</table>

<?php
   }
?>

</body>
</html>

submitAlbumForm.php, the php form for uploading form info to database

<?php
include "base.php";

//Setting up images directory
$target = "images/"; 
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['albumCover']['name']);

$albumCover=($_FILES['albumCover']['name']); 

//inserting data order
$order = "INSERT INTO albums
            (artistName, albumName, releaseDate, leakDate, whereItLeaked, albumCover)
            VALUES
            ('$_POST[artistName]',
            '$_POST[albumName]',
            '$_POST[releaseDate]',
            '$_POST[leakDate]',
            '$_POST[whereItLeaked]',
            '{$_FILES['albumCover']['name']}')";

 //Writes image to database
 mysql_query("INSERT INTO `albums` VALUES ('albumCover')") ; 

  if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['albumCover']['tmp_name'], $target)) 
 { 

 //Tells you if its all ok 
 echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory"; 
 } 
 else { 

 //Gives an error if its not 
 echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; 
 } 

//declare in the order variable
$result = mysql_query($order);  //order executes
if($result){
    echo("<br>Thank you for submitting!");
} else{
    echo("<br>Sorry, something went wrong! Please try again!");
}
?>

      $this->image = $new_image;
   }      

}
?>

I know I have a lot of security holes right now, and will be working on those soon! Thanks guys!

    I do not see how the if block with if( isset($_POST['submit']) ) ever gets hit and if it does then the image data would be directly output, which would not work since it is surrounded by HTML. A separate script that outputs the data of a resized image would be more appropriately handled by a separate script. (Perhaps one that takes GET params for the size?) If you are trying to save a resized copy of the image instead of the original-size image, then you should probably do that after move_uploaded_file. You could probably use SimpleImage::save() to do that. Maybe this would work:

    if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['albumCover']['tmp_name'], $target)) 
    { 
        require_once 'SimpleImage.php';
        $image = new SimpleImage();
        $image->load($target);
        $image->resize(150,150);
        $image->save($target); // Overwrites the image with a resized one
    
        // Tells you if its all ok 
        echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory"; 
    } 
    else ...
