I'm using the advice
www.jamesfairhurst.co.uk/posts/view/uploading_files_and_images_with_cakephp
to handle uploading images.
The function uploads the files to the appropriate folder and then
returns a url which I add to $this->data so the location of the image
is saved in the database
To call the function:
$fileOK = $this->uploadFiles('img/files/campaigns', $this-
>data['File']);
Then add the url to the array to be saved
$this->data['User']['image_url'] = $fileOK['urls'][0];
image_url would end up looking like: files/campaigns/userphoto.jpg
After I've done this, I want to resize the image a couple of times so
I have a large thumbnail and a smaller one as well as the original.
I'm using the advice at bakery.cakephp.org/articles/Perkster/
2008/04/12/image-resizer-crop
to call the function I have to do
$this->PImage->resizeImage('resize', 'myimage.jpg', WWW_ROOT . 'img' .
DS, false, false, 480)
in the above the myimage.jpg bit I'd obviously want to replace with
userphoto.jpg and the WWW_ROOT . 'img' . DS bit (which is supposed to
be the folder where the image is) I'd want to presumably put files/
campaigns.
My question simply is, how can I get from :
$this->data['User']['image_url']
To having two vars, one with just the userphoto.jpg and the other with
just the folder the image is in?
I hope that makes sense, I'm new. I did try changing the PImage
function so it only needed the value in $this->data['User']
['image_url'] but that just caused lots of errors unsurprisingly.
thanks in advance
