I have searched a million pages today, without any solutions.

I can add images to MySql, Pull them from the database and show them successfully. My problem is that they are all in different width and height sizes.

What I then tried to do is to set the size BEFORE I add it to MYSQL, this is where my problem lies. The code below is for the resize, which works fine if I specify a specific image. In my case, the user will load the image via input type: file method, which only returns the image name and not the full path. With the code below, I need to get a file path, or a temp path, which is what I can not seem to manage.

Any ideas on this?

Code for resize, working fine with specific named files, how to get the "uploaded" path name and set its value to "$image_path? -

<?php

$image_path = "Main-bg.jpg";

list($width, $height, $type, $attr)= getimagesize($image_path); 

//specify what percentage you are resizing to
$percent_resizing = 20;

$new_width = round((($percent_resizing/100)*$width));
$new_height = round((($percent_resizing/100)*$height));

echo '<img src="'.$image_path.'" height="'.$new_height.'" width="'.$new_width.'">';

?>

This code is to upload the pictures etc. I think I need to add the resize code here somewhere, not sure where, obviously AFTER I got a path -

Test.php -

<?php
$conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "MyUsername", "xxxxxxxxx")
  OR DIE (mysql_error());
@mysql_select_db ("images", $conn) OR DIE (mysql_error());
// Do this process if user has browse the
// file and click the submit button
if ($_FILES) {
  $image_types = Array ("image/bmp",
                        "image/jpeg",
                        "image/pjpeg",
                        "image/gif",
                        "image/x-png");
  if (is_uploaded_file ($_FILES["userfile"]["tmp_name"])) {
    $userfile  = addslashes (fread
                 (fopen ($_FILES["userfile"]["tmp_name"], "r"),
                 filesize ($_FILES["userfile"]["tmp_name"])));
    $file_name = $_FILES["userfile"]["name"];
    $file_size = $_FILES["userfile"]["size"];
    $file_type = $_FILES["userfile"]["type"];
 
    if (in_array (strtolower ($file_type), $image_types)) {
      $sql = "INSERT INTO image"
             . "(id, image_type, image, image_size, image_name, image_date) ";
      $sql.= "VALUES (";
      $sql.= "'', '{$file_type}', '{$userfile}', '{$file_size}', "
             . "'{$file_name}', NOW())";
      @mysql_query ($sql, $conn);
      Header("Location:".$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);
      exit();
    }
  }

// Do this process of user has click
// a file name to view or remove

  $iid = $_GET["iid"];

Thanks Kraai, but still my problem exist. I know how to resize etc, what I do not know, is how to get the path to set it to "path"...

The returned path from all browsers is something like C:/fakepath..., where fake path does not help me a lot.:)

function create_thumbnail( $source_file, $destination_file, $max_dimension,$sc_quality)
{
    list($img_width,$img_height) = getimagesize($source_file); // Get the original dimensions

In the above code, I need to get the $source_file, which seems to be impossible. Without the source file, I can not get the sizes to resize the image.

Hi Andre

Your problem made me study some more. Can the problem be that you do not specify a folder other than the "temp" after the user uploaded the image to store it permanent? Can it also be that in your form script, you have no "form action" ?

Example for the form script specify the action:

<form action="test.php" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">

Example of storing (saving) the "temp" uploaded file in a directory:

{
      move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
      "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
      echo "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
      }
