imagejpeg() unable to write to file: "is a directory"

[Markus]

I'm adding to my script a section that allows a thumbnail to be created and saved. I get this error:

Warning: imagejpeg() [function.imagejpeg]: Unable to open '../uploads/thumb/' for writing: Is a directory in /home/.gobbles/mahcuz/mahcuz.com/upload/uploaded.php on line 129

And this is some of the code from the page:

/* New code for thumbnails. Will on work if user selects "create thumb on upload" on the upload page */
    //check to see if checkbox is selected
    if(isset($_POST['thumbBox'])){
    // Load image and get image size
        $img1 = "../uploads/mahcuz_".$uploadedImg;
        $orgimg = imagecreatefromjpeg($img1);
        $width = imagesx($orgimg);
        $height = imagesy($orgimg);
        // Setting new width and height for thumbnail size
        $newwidth = 100; //any size as you wish
        $newheight = floor($height*($newwidth/$width));
        // Creating new temporary image
        $tmpimg = imagecreatetruecolor($newwidth, $newheight);
        // Copy and resize old image into new image
        imagecopyresized($tmpimg, $orgimg, 0, 0, 0, 0, $newwidth, $newheight, $width, $height );
        // Save thumbnail into a file
        $path = "../uploads/thumb/"; // <<<< this is line 129 !
        imagejpeg($tmpimg, $path.$img) or die("error");
        $thumbAlert = "Thumbnail created succesfully. Please use the code provided (on the right) to link to the 
 
thumbnail of your uploaded image";
    }
 
/* end code for thumbnails */
 

The created thumbnails are intended to be saved in a directory - root - uploads/thumb/

Not sure what the problem might be. It says unable to write, could it be the file permissions? I've got it set to 777

Thanks :)

Problem is with the second parameter for this function.

imagejpeg($tmpimg, $path.$img)

You have to set the path correctly.

I'm not sure it is, i have the exact same coding on a test i have on my locahost (computer xampp thing) and it works just fine >_>

Changed thread title to better describe the problem (did you know that threads whose titles do not follow the Posting Guidelines actually get FEWER responses?).

As error describes you can't write down your thumbnail to a directory ilke this;
../what_ever_dir/
It should be a new image path like;
../what_ever_dir/new_thumb_location.jpg

And what about "$img" and "$img1" variables on your scripts. do they suppose to contain the same values or do they having different values. because I didn't see any value for $img variable, yet.

Awesome! What i was doing was on the right tracks but i'd forgotten to change the name of the variable when i'd copied it from my other file :D

Thanks a bunch

$path.$img /* which would join the path and img name to create thumb/img.jpg was supposed to be /*
$path.$uploadedImg // as $uploadedImg is the correct variable :D
