compress uploaded image if too big

[quocanh83]

So I am trying to adjust my image uploader so that if an image is over 35kb compress it, but it doesn't seem to work, don't think i'm doing it right as it always gives me the error"File size too big! The max is 35kb, try to use some more compression on it, or find another image."Here's my code:\[code\]function article_top_image($article_id){ global $db, $config; if (isset($_FILES['new_image']) && $_FILES['new_image']['error'] == 0) { if (!@fopen($_FILES['new_image']['tmp_name'], 'r')) { $this->error_message = "Could not find image, did you select one to upload?"; return false; } else { // check the dimensions list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize($_FILES['new_image']['tmp_name']); // check if its too big if ($_FILES['new_image']['size'] > 35900) { // compress it to see if we can make it smaller imagejpeg($_FILES['new_image']['tmp_name'], $_FILES['new_image']['tmp_name'], 50); // check again if ($_FILES['new_image']['size'] > 35900) { $this->error_message = 'File size too big! The max is 35kb, try to use some more compression on it, or find another image.'; return false; } } else if ($width > $config['article_image_max_width'] || $height > $config['article_image_max_height']) { $this->error_message = 'Too big!'; return false; } // this will make sure it is an image file, if it cant get an image size then its not an image else if (!getimagesize($_FILES['new_image']['tmp_name'])) { $this->error_message = 'Not an image!'; return false; } } // see if they currently have an avatar set $db->sqlquery("SELECT `article_top_image` FROM `articles` WHERE `article_id` = ?", array($article_id)); $image = $db->fetch(); // give the image a random file name $imagename = rand() . 'id' . $article_id . '.jpg'; // the actual image $source = $_FILES['new_image']['tmp_name']; // where to upload to $target = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/uploads/articles/topimages/" . $imagename; if (move_uploaded_file($source, $target)) { // remove old avatar if ($image['article_top_image'] == 1) { unlink($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/uploads/articles/topimages/' . $image['article_top_image_filename']); } $db->sqlquery("UPDATE `articles` SET `article_top_image` = 1, `article_top_image_filename` = ? WHERE `article_id` = ?", array($imagename, $article_id)); return true; } else { $this->error_message = 'Could not upload file!'; return false; } return true; }}\[/code\]
