I asked followup questions in another post, but not sure if it will get a reply since it's marked as 'answered' i just noticed... anyway, here is the updated situation..


I am trying to upload multiple images and have them resized and saved.

I have been trying for a few days to do this, but from what would seem right, I was only ever able to get the first image in the set to size only on the first manipulation.

What I have that is currently working is:

Upload::save();
      foreach (Upload::get_files() as $key=>$file) {
          Image::load($file['saved_to'].$file['saved_as'])
                      ->preset('280x280', DOCROOT.'/../images_280x280/'.$file['saved_as']);
          Image::load($file['saved_to'].$file['saved_as'])
                      ->preset('800', DOCROOT.'/../images_800/'.$file['saved_as']);

What this is doing is:

Upload::save()   (saves all the images uploaded to the 'path' specified in the upload.php config.
Each Image::load then gets that image and makes the changes and saves it to the new location per the dir it's to go in.

This does not seem right. I have to upload, then it copies the tmp file to the dir I set in the 'path' of upload.config and then for each of the sizing item::load operations, it copies it from the 'path' dir to the new dirs. So I end up with at least three versions of the image.

I would think that I should just be able to use the files directly from the 'tmp' dir, no?

I tried leaving the 'path' set to '', also tried commenting it out and all the times, I would get 'filetype not valid' errors

I was setting the Image::load($file['file'], false, 'jpg') ... but that was not working at all.

What am I doing wrong?

thanks.
