problem opening dynamic images from mysql with gd

[Johannes Götzinger]

hello everyone,

I use a script to save .jpg-images in a mysql database. Another small
script outputs the database-stored-image to the browser
(getdbfile?id=1 ). All works fine.

Now I want to resize these images from the database using the GD
libraries. But I always get an error while opening the
'dynamic'-database-image:

getimagesize(ge tdbfile.php?id= 1): failed to open stream: No such file
or directory in C:\apache\htdoc s\cur\files\thu mb.php on line 33

(I'm running Apache 1.3.14 and PHP 4.3.2).

Does anybody know how to solve my problem? - Thanks.

You seem to be trying to use a URL for getimagesize; not going to work, it
doesn't accept URLs, just filesystem files.

You're probably going to have to write the image to a temporary file.

See http://uk2.php.net/getimagesize , the user notes at the bottom for
getimagesize_re mote().
