errors keep cropping up implementing a basic phpthumb script...Permission denied on line 1070 of GdThumb.in.php

Question

I wanted a script that automatically generates thumbnails when from a folder full of larger images. I've ran into some problems implementing it.

I was getting some errors early on because I hadn't included all the phpthumb files i needed, but now the errors are coming from within the phpthumb code itself. Will post more code as needed.

The errors:

Warning: getimagesize(.\.) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\xampp\htdocs\mysite\GdThumb.inc.php on line 1070

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'File is not a valid image: .\.' in C:\xampp\htdocs\mysite\ThumbBase.inc.php:193 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\mysite\GdThumb.inc.php(1081): ThumbBase->triggerError('File is not a v...') #1 C:\xampp\htdocs\mysite\GdThumb.inc.php(98): GdThumb->determineFormat()
#2 C:\xampp\htdocs\mysite\ThumbLib.inc.php(127): GdThumb->__construct('.\.', Array, false) #3 C:\xampp\htdocs\mysite\save_differentformat.php(47): PhpThumbFactory::create('.\.') #4 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\mysite\ThumbBase.inc.php on line 193

the script:

require_once '../mysite/ThumbLib.inc.php';

$dir = "../mysite/images" ;
$destination = "../mysite/thumbnails" ;
$images = scandir($dir);

foreach ($images as $image)
{
    $ext = pathinfo($dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $image,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
    $thumb = PhpThumbFactory::create($image  . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. $image);
    $thumb->adaptiveResize(100, 100);
    $thumb->save($destination . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. $image, $ext);
    $thumb->show();
}
?>

EDIT

Here's the error messages i'm getting right now. It doesn't know what $mode is and i may have a mix of image types in that folder.

Notice: Undefined variable: mode in C:\xampp\htdocs\mysite\save_differentformat.php on line 51

Here's what scandir() is returning:

array(19) { [0]=> string(1) "." [1]=> string(2) ".."

Answer 1

OK Apology accepted

A. It not really advice able to use ../ when dealing with path .. this can lead to a lot of issues my advice is use real path

B. Always check if the folder exist and you can write to the folder before performing file operations

Example

$dir = "mysite/images";
$destination = "mysite/thumbnails";
$mode = 0777;
if (! is_dir ( $dir )) {
    die ( "Source  Direcotry Does not exist :  $dir" );
}

if (! is_readable ( $dir )) {
    die ( "Source  Direcotry Does not readable :  $dir" );
}

if (! mkdir_recursive ( $destination, $mode )) {
    die ( "Can't wite  create $destination" );
}

$images = scandir ( $dir );

$allowedExtention = array (
        "jpg",
        "gif",
        "png" 
);

$errors = array ();
foreach ( $images as $image ) {
    $imageFile = $dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $image;

    if (is_file ( $dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $image )) {

        if ($image == "." || $image == "..") {
            continue;
        }

        $ext = pathinfo ( $dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $image, PATHINFO_EXTENSION );
        if (! in_array ( $ext, $allowedExtention )) {
            continue;
        } else {
            $errors [] = $imageFile . " has invalid extention $ext";
        }

        try {
            $thumb = PhpThumbFactory::create ( $dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $image );
            $thumb->adaptiveResize ( 100, 100 );
            $thumb->save ( $destination . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $image, $ext );
            $thumb->show ();
        } catch ( Exception $e ) {
            $errors [] = "PhpThumbFactory  : " . $e->getMessage ();
        }
    } else {
        $errors [] = $imageFile . " not a valid File";
    }
}

// Check for errors

if (count ( $errors )) {
    foreach ( $errors as $error ) {
        echo $error . " <br />";
    }
}

function mkdir_recursive($pathname, $mode) {
    is_dir ( dirname ( $pathname ) ) || mkdir_recursive ( dirname ( $pathname ), $mode );
    return is_dir ( $pathname ) || mkdir ( $pathname, $mode );
}
