Try to define $FilePath as follows: $FilePath = $_SERVER["document_root"]."/HarrisAutomate/output/WebImagesHiRes/$ImageName"; In this way it should work. -- João Cândido de Souza Neto SIENS SOLUÇÕES EM GESTÃO DE NEGÓCIOS Fone: (0XX41) 3033-3636 - JS www.siens.com.br ""Miller, Terion"" <tmiller@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> escreveu na mensagem news:C64C2FBF.2B80%kmiller13@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx On 6/3/09 1:41 PM, "Eddie Drapkin" <oorza2k5@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: just initially, and this might be a typo but $FilePath = "http://localhost:8888/HarrisAutomate/output/WebImagesHiRes/$ImageName"; //$BackupPath = "http://localhost:8888/HarrisAutomate/WebImagesHiRes/output/backup/"; $FilePath has an /output/ that $BackupPath doesn't. Also, make sure you don't have safe_mode or open_basedir restricting the files php can see, although I'm reasonably sure the fact that it's an URL should nullify that. Also, make sure you have allow_url_fopen turned on.

What I am trying to do is to match a file name from a db to the file in the folder of images.... Which that part is working I can match them and display them, but it keeps telling me they aren't there ...right before it displays... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
