class.upload.php is a powerful and mature PHP class to manage uploaded files, and manipulate images in many ways. The script is available under a GPL license.
Well yes, but you can't both insert the file into the database and to the server as a file if you also need to modify the file. Reason being, each time you call process() everything gets reset.
So in my case, I want to convert the image format of the original, then save it on disk and also to the database. Then I want to create a thumbnail version, which I also want to save on disk as well as to the database. So in essence I have 4 processes to go through for each uploaded file:
1) Reformat the file and save it on disk. 2) Reformat the file as in #1, then save it to the database. 3) Resize the file as a thumbnail and save it on disk. 4) Resize the file as in #3 and save it to the database.
I can somewhat reduce the amount of code required by creating function "A" that will handle the image reformatting, and function "B" to handle the image resizing. I can then call on function "A" for steps 1 and 2, and function "B" for steps 3 and 4.
But if I've still got this all wrong, feel free to jump in! And thanks for your quick feedback!Reply
