PHP image save

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 26.2007

Hi

I’m creating images dynamically using php (GD library) which displays the image just fine on the page, but I want to be able to save the image (with a dynamically derived name) in a higher directory.

Any know how to do this. Attempts using file_copy_contents and the like don’t seem to be working – I wonder if I need some kind of binary copying thing or other. I’m pleading ignorance.

Any help appreciated

@ZnupiMar 26.2007 — So far you are probably using imageGif() or imagePng() or imageJpg() or whatever to output your images, right? Well, just pass as a second argument the filename to save the image to...
[code=php]
$img = imageCreate($width, $height);
// Do whatever you wish to the image...
$fileName = "/images/dynamic/image.gif";
imageGif($img, $fileName);
[/code]
This way, $img will be saved to /images/dynamic/image.gif. ?
