Getimagesize ( ) Error message Please Help!

[Philip D Heady]

What is with this error message?????? First part validates, second part
fails...

getimagesize (filename...) failed to open stream: No such file or directory

} elseif ($photo) {

$ext = strtolower(substr($photo, -3));

if ($ext == "peg") { $ext = "jpg"; }

if ($ext != "gif" && $ext != "jpg" && $ext != "jpeg" && $ext != "bmp" )
{

$focus = "photo";
$msg2 = "Please provide a valid gif, jpeg, or bmp photo or do not
attach one.";

} else {

$size = getimagesize($photo);

if ($size > 25000) {

$msg2 = "Photo must be smaller than 25k.";
}}}

What is $photo? It should be a URL or a path to a file (either absolute or
relative). However, if you get it working, you'll run into a problem with the
next line. First, getimagesize() returns an array. Second, none of the
elements in the array relate to filesize. They relate to it's type, height and
width.

You should read about filesize():
http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.filesize.php
Or if this is a file the user has uploaded, try using:
$_FILES['photo']['size']
