Questions and postings pertaining to the usage of ImageMagick regardless of the interface. This includes the command-line utilities, as well as the C and C++ APIs. Usage questions are like "How do I use ImageMagick to create drop shadows?".
I have the following php script which works well except that a copy of the uploaded image always gets placed in the "php" directory as well as the two other specified locations (largeImages and thumbImages). How can I avoid this?
thanks

<P>You have uploaded the image: <b><? echo $_FILES[imgLarge][name]; ?>,</b> to your portfolio site.<br>
If you haven't already done so, be sure to create an information file about this artwork.

What I am saying is why save the image and then copy it ? You should be able to save it directly to the final folder. This will remove one step as well.
thank you again, Bonzo. What I didn't realize was that within the "exec" parameters, the image was actually being saved to the server (there doesn't seem to be a 'save' command of any kind in there). I thought that it was simply resizing it and setting the quality, then I needed to @copy it after that. I am totally unfamiliar with command line stuff.
Anyway, that worked great and I appreciate this forum and others like it. They are so valuable to programmers of all levels.
