Tidy up my Images

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 30.2011

I have a list of 10 small images that facilitate the background assembly for a captcha PHP script. It would be good to put all the background images in a folder out of view.

The line of script is as follows:

$image = imagecreatefromjpeg(“background$bgNum.jpg”);

I have tried putting the images in a folder called ‘album’ and [B]amending[/B] the script as follows:

$image = imagecreatefromjpeg(” [B]./album/[/B] background$bgNum.jpg”);

It did not work. Am I on the right track???

@WonDer9Jul 30.2011 — you have to use ".." for an above directory. and "/" for below( or inside folder).

So if your trying to grab images form a folder within you directory it has to be :
<i>
</i>$image = imagecreatefromjpeg("/album/background$bgNum.jpg");

or

$image = imagecreatefromjpeg("album/background$bgNum.jpg");

If its a folder in a directory above the folder containing the file to handle the image it is :
<i>
</i>$image = imagecreatefromjpeg("../album/background$bgNum.jpg");

just 2 dots: ".."

++ so if your html or php file is inside a folder trying to get to a folder out side used the second.

++ if your html orr php file is in the main trying to retrieve from a folder use the first.

++ PHP dosen't always care about white spaces but try not to leave it between arears of type.
