Copyright Script?

[theremotedr]

There is a folder called UPLOADS
The script generates 3 photos from the photo you upload.

1,one photo is the origianl size that was selected to be used
2,one photo is the resized output sized photo
3,one photo is the resized output sized photo with a watermark

I do not need 1 & 2 to be generated.
If i knew how to write code or scripts i would but i dont some looking for some help.
I can supply the text in the script file if that helps to look and edit for me ?

As I said, I'm too busy to put much time into this at the moment. If you post the code, I can take a quick look, but if I don't see what's wrong I won't be able to take the time to debug it.

Either:
1) The image is copied using move_uploaded_file(), just when it was uploaded in the first place.
Or:
2) The image is created using imagejpeg() or imagepng() or imagegif().

Stopping it should be as simple as finding that line and commenting it out.


Also, as I said above, if you use unlink(), you can delete the files after they're created. It's slightly less efficient than not creating them at all, but that should be very easy to do. See the php.net page for more information-- you'll just need to find the right path for the image and that's it.


Another reason I don't want to put a lot of time into this is that if I were in your position, I'd just do it locally anyway. I think you're going to run into problems doing it this way, or at the very least put more time into setting this up than it would ever take you to just do it locally.

Here is the script thanks.
Like i mentioned the script puts 3 photos in the uploads folder.
1 the original size photo.
2,the resized photo without watermark set to the size of the output file size.
3,the resized photo with a watermark set to the size of the output file size.
My output file size is set at 1024 x 768
Once the photos are in the uploads folder i only have use for the photo with the watermark.
The other two photos are deleted.
This is why i would like a tweak in the script to not generate these two files or delete as soon as there are generated.

It would be possible to not generate the files, but that would require significantly rewriting the functions. As it is, it generates each then uses those files to generate the next. So if you turned that off in the script, you wouldn't have any file from which to generate the watermark photo.

So the solution here, although it isn't the most elegant, is simply to delete those after they're done processing.

At the end of the script, use the unlink() function with the right path, once for each extra image, to remove them.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.unlink.php

With the right paths, that should work immediately. However:
1) Be careful with this-- you're deleting files on the server. If you aren't confident about it, then create a backup of the whole site first and don't use this on an active website. After some testing you should see that it works and you can rely on it.
2) Use only paths generated by you. Don't rely on user input or a clever user might be able to delete other files on the system. This will also mean that you probably want to rename all of the photos rather than using the original names, or they could try to trick the system into deleting other files based on the name of the photo they upload. Of course this also applies to how the files are named in the first place-- they might find a way to overwrite a file that you wanted based on the name of the image-- so renaming all uploads is a good idea. Or filtering the filenames at least.
3) The only possible technical problem will be if there's a permissions error on deleting (unlinking) the file. There shouldn't be, because it's generated by PHP. But if there is, just let us know.

Let us know if you can't figure out the paths. Post your current unlink() code and we can try to help.

Adding the unlink () worked.

Thanks
