Hello Again,

No, I don't want to roll my own at all. I want the quickest way possible
to do this.

The code I have *should* work, but doesn't....

            $imageObject =& Image_Transform::factory('');
            $imageObject->load($fileName);
            if ( PEAR::isError($imageObject) )
            {
                error_log("imageObject->load( ) error");
            }
            $imageObject->fit(90, 110);
            if ( PEAR::isError($imageObject) )
            {
                error_log("imageObject->fit( ) error");
            }
            $newFileName  = substr($fileName, 0, strrpos($fileName,"."));
            $newFileName .= '.png';
            $imageObject->save(USER_IMAGES_PATH . $newFileName);
            if ( PEAR::isError($imageObject) )
            {
                error_log("imageObject->save( ) error");
            }
            print_r($imageObject);

I can't figure it out. No PEAR errors are getting thrown,
but the image is never being saved.

Any ideas? The file is getting uploaded to the server, I can see that.

Thanks!

- Ben

Subject: Re: [nycphp-talk] Creating Avatar Images


Well I was not suggesting to fully use the gravatar site itself
(although you can scale to whatever size you wish for your avatar
using &size=n), I think they recognize anything > 80px to not be an
"avatar" ... your question dealt w/ the security of such images + the
technique w/ the MD5 hash of email address link to an image path was
more the idea.

There actually is an excellent library if you want to roll your
own ... http://phpthumb.sourceforge.net.  It includes this hashing
mechanism already.
