Stut,
Shouting is something that happens when people are actually speaking and
listening. In a medium where there is no other way to emphasize salient
points in a message, capitalization is all that works. I'm sorry it
offended your sensabilities.
realpath() fails, just like file_exists() fails, to report the file as
non-existant.
echo "realpath(\$basePicture) returns '" . realpath($basePicture) .
"'<br>\n";
echo "when \$basePicture is '" . $basePicture . "'<br>\n";
-------------------------------------------------------------------
generates
-------------------------------------------------------------------
realpath($basePicture) returns '/Stan-and-Jeanne.com/pictures/2008 west
coast trip/2008-06-10 first week at Chris'/DSC_0011.jpg'
when $basePicture is '../pictures/2008 west coast trip/2008-06-10 first week
at Chris'/DSC_0011.jpg'
-------------------------------------------------------------------
but ls DSC_0011.* in ../pictures/2008 west coast trip/2008-06-10 first week
at Chris' returns only
-------------------------------------------------------------------
DSC_0011.JPG
-------------------------------------------------------------------
and
-------------------------------------------------------------------
try {$image = new IMagick($basePicture);
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Caught exception: ', $e->getMessage(), "\n";
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------
results in
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Caught exception: unable to open image `/Stan-and-Jeanne.com/pictures/2008
west coast trip/2008-06-10 first week at Chris'/DSC_0011.jpg': No such file
or directory
-------------------------------------------------------------------
so ... the following takes care of the extension problem in a very time
expensive way
-------------------------------------------------------------------
try
{
$image = new IMagick($basePicture);
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
$basePicture =
substr($basePicture, 0, strrpos($basePicture, ".")) .
"." .
strtoupper(substr($basePicture, strrpos($basePicture, ".") + 1));
}
unset($image);
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't actually consider this solved and I'll return to it after everything
else at least works.
Now I can proceed to my next problem.
Thanks to all,
Stan
