When i made this function:
function makeThumbnail($type, $name, $size, $tmp_name, $thumbSize) {
//make sure this directory is writable!
$path_thumbs = "uploaded_files/";
//the new width of the resized image, in pixels.
$img_thumb_width = $thumbSize; //
$extlimit = "yes"; //Limit allowed extensions? (no for all extensions allowed)
//List of allowed extensions if extlimit = yes
$limitedext = array(".gif",".jpg",".png",".jpeg",".bmp");
//the image -> variables
$file_type = $type;
$file_name = $name;
$file_size = $size;
$file_tmp = $tmp_name;
//check if you have selected a file.
echo $file_tmp."<br>";
echo $file_name."<br>";
echo $file_type."<br>";
echo $file_size."<br>";
if(!is_uploaded_file($file_tmp)){
echo "Error: Please select a file to upload!. <br>--<a href=\"$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]\">back</a>";
exit(); //exit the script and don't process the rest of it!
}
//check the file's extension
$ext = strrchr($file_name,'.');
$ext = strtolower($ext);
//uh-oh! the file extension is not allowed!
if (($extlimit == "yes") && (!in_array($ext,$limitedext))) {
echo "Wrong file extension. <br>--<a href=\"$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]\">back</a>";
exit();
}
//so, whats the file's extension?
$getExt = explode ('.', $file_name);
$file_ext = $getExt[count($getExt)-1];
//create a random file name
$rand_name = md5(time());
$rand_name= rand(0,999999999);
//the new width variable
$ThumbWidth = $img_thumb_width;
/////////////////////////////////
// CREATE THE THUMBNAIL //
////////////////////////////////
//keep image type
if($file_size){
if($file_type == "image/pjpeg" || $file_type == "image/jpeg"){
$new_img = imagecreatefromjpeg($file_tmp);
}elseif($file_type == "image/x-png" || $file_type == "image/png"){
$new_img = imagecreatefrompng($file_tmp);
}elseif($file_type == "image/gif"){
$new_img = imagecreatefromgif($file_tmp);
}
//list the width and height and keep the height ratio.
list($width, $height) = getimagesize($file_tmp);
//calculate the image ratio
$imgratio=$width/$height;
if ($imgratio>1){
$newwidth = $ThumbWidth;
$newheight = $ThumbWidth/$imgratio;
}else{
$newheight = $ThumbWidth;
$newwidth = $ThumbWidth*$imgratio;
}
//function for resize image.
if (function_exists(imagecreatetruecolor)){
$resized_img = imagecreatetruecolor($newwidth,$newheight);
}else{
die("Error: Please make sure you have GD library ver 2+");
}
//the resizing is going on here!
imagecopyresampled($resized_img, $new_img, 0, 0, 0, 0, $newwidth, $newheight, $width, $height);
//finally, save the image
ImageJpeg ($resized_img,"$path_thumbs/$rand_name.$file_ext", 100);
ImageDestroy ($resized_img);
ImageDestroy ($new_img);
}
//ok copy the finished file to the thumbnail directory
// move_uploaded_file ($file_tmp, "$path_big/$rand_name.$file_ext");
/*
Don't want to copy it to a separate directory?
Want to just display the image to the user?
Follow the following steps:
2. Uncomment this code:
/*
/* UNCOMMENT THIS IF YOU WANT */
echo "OK THUMB " . $thumbSize;
exit();
//*/
//and you should be set!
//success message, redirect to main page.
$msg = urlencode("$title was uploaded! <a href=\"Resize.php\">Upload More?</a>");
}
Then it stopped working, but outside a function, it works good.
As you can see i added “echo $file….” because i wanted to see if they have value, and they do have the right values.
I just get the error Error: Please select a file to upload.
This function is running after an normal upload image script(full size).
When i call the function i do:
makeThumbnail($_FILES[$fieldname]['type'], $_FILES[$fieldname]['name'], $_FILES[$fieldname]['size'], $_FILES[$fieldname]['tmp_name'], 100);
At my other file where its not in a function, theres no difference only that the variables is:
$file_type = $_FILES['file']['type'];
$file_name = $_FILES['file']['name'];
$file_size = $_FILES['file']['size'];
$file_tmp = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
But it should work, I cant find anything wrong, but it doesnt and i keep getting that error. If i remove the is_uploaded_file function, i get a bunch of another errors.
Make sure you are not using
move_uploaded_file()before calling the function.
