i have a code that generates an image using imagecreatefromjpeg. it's working well, not until i decide to place it inside an if statement. my purspoe of doing that is to check whether a file is uploaded of not. if not, i will just use an image from the server. here is my code. please feel free to edit it. thanks in advance! been working here for hours now...
if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES[$fieldname]['tmp_name'])) {
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
$upload = $uploadFilename;
$im = imagecreatefromjpeg("bg.jpg");
$img2 = imagecreatefromjpeg($upload);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
$font = 'arialbi.ttf';
$font2 = 'ariali.ttf';
imagettftext($im, 24, 0, 50, 280, $black, $font, $title);
imagettftext($im, 10, 0, 320, 362, $black, $font, $namehere);
imagecopymerge($im, $img2, 30, 350, 0, 0, imagesx($img2), imagesy($img2), 100);
$date_created = date("YmdHis");//get date created
$img_name = "-img_entry.jpg"; //the file name of the generated image
$img_newname = $date_created . $img_name; //datecreated+name
$img_dir =dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) ."/". $img_newname; //the location to save the image
imagejpeg($im, $img_dir , 80); //function to save the image with the name and quality
$newpath = "/home3/site/public_html/Amats/image_entry/";
$newdir = $newpath.$img_newname;
copy ($img_dir, $newdir); //copy to new folder para mas madaling iretrieve
$http_dir = 'http://site.com/Amats/image_entry/';
$post_link = $http_dir . $img_newname;
$msg = 'Story by ';
$post_msg = $msg.$name;
imagejpeg($im);
imagedestroy($im);
}
this is what comes before the if statement above:
$directory_self = str_replace(basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), '', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
// make a note of the directory that will recieve the uploaded files //i made it as the same directory where the .php file is
$uploadsDirectory = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $directory_self;
// make a note of the location of the upload form in case we need it
$uploadForm = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $directory_self . 'index.php';
// make a note of the location of the success page
$uploadSuccess = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $directory_self . 'upload.success.php';
// name of the fieldname used for the file in the HTML form
$fieldname = 'file';
// possible PHP upload errors
$errors = array(1 => 'php.ini max file size exceeded',
2 => 'html form max file size exceeded',
3 => 'file upload was only partial',
4 => 'no file was attached');
// check the upload form was actually submitted else print form
isset($_POST['submit'])
or error('the upload form is neaded', $uploadForm);
// check for standard uploading errors
($_FILES[$fieldname]['error'] == 0)
or error($errors[$_FILES[$fieldname]['error']], $uploadForm);
// check that the file we are working on really was an HTTP upload
@is_uploaded_file($_FILES[$fieldname]['tmp_name'])
or error('not an HTTP upload', $uploadForm);
// validation... since this is an image upload script we
// should run a check to make sure the upload is an image
@getimagesize($_FILES[$fieldname]['tmp_name'])
or error('only image uploads are allowed', $uploadForm);
// make a unique filename for the uploaded file and check it is
// not taken... if it is keep trying until we find a vacant one
$now = time();
while(file_exists($uploadFilename = $uploadsDirectory.$now.'-'.$_FILES[$fieldname]['name']))
{
$now++;
}
// now let's move the file to its final and allocate it with the new filename
@move_uploaded_file($_FILES[$fieldname]['tmp_name'], $uploadFilename)
or error('receiving directory insuffiecient permission', $uploadForm);
