Can't get image size

[thesquirrel16]

Hi i am running off of a windows NT server. I cannot get some of my code to work properly. I am trying to resize pictures as they are uploaded.

This is the line that does not work for me:

list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize("$file_name");

the variables show to be empty, and file is the name of the open text box. Am I doing something wrong here? The error thrown is:
Warning: getimagesize(IMG_1543.jpg) [function.getimagesize]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in c:\websites\jgcustomhomes71\jgcustomhomes.com\new\picupload.php on line 94

Also this line is not working
$thepicture = getimagesize("$add"); where $add is the image copied over to the server from $file, $thepicture comes up blank

Well it looks like that the variable $file_name points to.. well nothing. Try something like "./$file_name"... Maybe that would work. I personally don't know. Or try giving the full url of the file. such as c:\websites\jgcustomhomes71\jgcustomhomes.com\new\$file_name

hope this helps.

I'll try it out, do you know if this function has to point to the file on the server, or can it be on the persons computer?

haha ok I am an idiot. I was pointing to the address on the computer and not the server... problem solved =p thanks!
