Remote Server Thumbnail Question

[mattymatoo]

Hi,

I am really struggling to get the thumbnail creator to work on remote images.

This is my code for local images which works fine:

http://www.myserver.com/thumb.php?src=image.jpg&w=100&h=100&f=0

When I change it to:

http://www.myserver.com/thumb.php?src=http://www.remoteserver.com/image.jpg&w=100&h=100&f=0

it returns the error message - Source image does not exist! - when it definitely does.   

My folder settings for local files are (Windows server):

$images_folder = 'C:/Domains/myserver.com/wwwroot/prod_images/';
$thumbs_folder = 'C:/Domains/myserver.com/wwwroot/prod_images/thumbs/';

I noticed on another post that the temp function uses the folder "tmp/".  I've tried changing "tmp/" to $thumbs_folder but that doesn't make a difference.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks
Matt

I've now found the problem!

When printing the $from_name variable I fount that it had the $images_folder path in front of it so the first seven characters were obviously not 'http://' to run the Temp function.

It now working fine and i'm really pleased, its the fastest solution i've seen!!  I am well impressed!!

Thank you to the developers!!

Regards,
Matt
