I need some help from someone who knows what they are doing. I am setting up my new website which is image hosting/sharing. When uploading a picture to the website it then shows a thumbnail. However the thumbnail is showing a blank picture (black) and shows the following errors: Warning: imagecopyresampled(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in /home/NAMEHIDDEN/public_html/process-upload.php on line 201 Warning: imagecopyresampled(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in /home/NAMEHIDDEN/public_html/process-upload.php on line 209 Warning: imagecopymerge(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in /home/NAMEHIDDEN/public_html/process-upload.php on line 219 Warning: imagejpeg(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in /home/NAMEHIDDEN/public_html/process-upload.php on line 225 If I go to the picture on my website, only the thumbnail shows a black picture. If I click on it to open it, the proper picture shows. I'm confused? I am willing to pay for some help if you can't help me. This is the process-upload file

No i've tried different images..

Ok you need to run through and check things like what size the images are when you upload them, try uploading a small image file in size. Check the images open OK in a graphics program like photoshop. Check your php settings for upload_max_filesize, memory_limit and max_execution_time.

The thing is, the exact same images will upload using the album upload section - just not the normal upload..

Then check through the script and try echoing out $imgSrc to make sure the value is what you expect. Check after if thats OK the $img var. Sounds like its failing there somewhere.

From reading it I see that the code is correct and it fails before the thumb creation here $img = imagecreatefromunknown($imgSrc); Try to use absolute local path and let us know. I believe it will work.

What exactly is the absolute local path.. I have used: home/username/public_html
Posted by Steve_Arm, 02-06-2010, 05:53 PM
Yes after you moved the file it's location: /home/username/public_html/pictures/".$fY."/".$fM."/".$fD."/".$rndName; Notice the forwardslash at the beginning.

It already has the / before home.. still no good..

It has something do do with the paths imagecreatetruecolor will create a black image thumb to the dimensions you specify before resampling the src image as a thumb, obviously the src is failing for some reason. You know the image is OK and the mime type so it must be a path problem the script is not getting the true path to the src. ehco the scr path and see what it gives you. Try putting a forward slash here: $uploadPath = "/pictures/".$fY."/".$fM."/".$fD."/".$rndName;

It has been sorted now. Hired linux-tech. You was along the right lines. It was imagecreatetruecolor causing the problem apparently. Thank you for your help guys.
