- the actual filename of the image. $base is used here, but not for the path, only for the image name. IMAGE_FS_PATH and IMAGE_WWW_PATH are used to get the directory structure.
So we build the full image path/name out of the following compontents:
constant: IMAGE_FS_PATH (= '/imgs/')
variable: $base (='brewery_')
variable: $id (='1');
string: '.jpg'
concatenating to: '/imgs/brewery_1.jpg' right?

The "www/imgs/same name as php file" path. I thought we were also using 'base' as the path after /imgs/.
I was under the impression that we were doing /imgs/$base/$base_12345.jpg as our formula.
This is most likely my mistake in understanding.
Also, this is where we are going wrong and the script is dying.
The images are located in /imgs/brewey/brewery_1.jpg. Each building has an image folder in /imgs/ , and a folder for their .php file and other info files in /.
For now, the brewery.php is just in the local root, and that shouldn't be a problem for what we're doing. If that is causing a problem, let me know and I'll get on creating the /brewery folder for the files already.
Brewery images brewery_1.jpg through brewery_12.jpg are all located in /imgs/brewery/.

Not a bad idea, but: the underscore is a seperate string. so put quotes(') around it, and concatenate it with dots (.), like so:
file_exists(IMAGE_FS_PATH.$base.'_'.$id.'jpg';
(but this is not necessary now, as $base can just contain the underscore)

I think this may have to do with the path setting.
Try setting IMAGE_FS_PATH to the real filesystem path. (i.e. /var/www/etc)
this is needed on my setup, but it could very well different on yours.

I'm going to stick phpinfo.php in the root of my site after lunch so I can actually see what my full server paths are. I have never bothered to use them, as most scripts have always 'magicaly' worked just using my root as an absolute path.

As long as it is before you include files (brewery.php needs those 2 definitions).
I usually put them at the very top of my php files, as a sort of initialization. But so long as they're defined before they're used, it's fine
parse errors only mean that the syntax is wrong, it does not say anything about the values (in this case system paths) of variables.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'supposed to see my / as the root'.
Try setting IMAGE_FS_PATH to the FULL system path '/var/www/htdocs/whatever/' and set IMAGE_WWW_PATH to 'img/' (in the define statements in index.php)
(include the trailing slash on both constants)
Post the contents of index.php and brewery.php again, and any parse errors you got but couldn't fix. I think we're down to a few typos here or there.
(mainly in the paths or image names)
Btw: I see a unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING error on your test page, check the line (53) for unmatched quotes (' or ") or a missing semi-colon( ; ) the semi-colon could also be missing on line 52.

I'll post brewery.php and index.php at the bottom of this message

I played around trying to edit and understand through experimentation when I got the parse errors, so it's probably all types of screwed up now.

Another note: the code above should be outputting HTML looking for images in http://www.arch13.com/imgs/brewery_1.jpg (and so on).
But looking for that URL gives me 404 errors. If the above URL should be correct, you might need to fix that first. If this URL to the image is not supposed to be correct, the code above needs fixing
|
Your right, it's that the script is looking in the wrong place.
Thanks for your patience on this Silvy, have I mentioned you kick ass?
(But ohhhh, wait till you see my next silly question

Crasnton, RI - Built in 1853 as the Providence Trolley house. Used as the
repair shop and storage shed for trolleys until 1923 when the city shuttered
their traction car system. It was then converted to the Cranston Brewery under
which it operated until the company went under in the late 70's.</div>
