It's actually well-established that capital letters indicate shouting.
To emphasise words or phrases you should surround them with _ or *.
The is also common practice.
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.
You never answered one of my questions. Where are you getting
$basePicture from? Why does it differ in case from the actual file on
disk. If you ask me you'd be better off trying to resolve this problem
further upstream at the point where the case gets changed but your
workflow doesn't appear to notice it.
