Read file error?

[richiejones24]

I have a script which creates a Thumbnail image if one does not exists, the problem is i keep getting this error: Catchable fatal error: Object of class SimpleImage could not be converted to string in /homepages/22/d378569747/htdocs/scripts/primary_image.php on line 21 i have checked the logs and i think its a read error because the the image is already in use by the server if i remove

(!file_exists("$root/thumnail_user_images/$image"))

 

the script work fine,  is there anyway to stop this error occuring?

 

<?php
//header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
$root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
require("$root/include/mysqldb.php");                     //mysql login details
require("$root/include/mysql_connect.php");               //mysql connect


$uin = $_GET['uin'];


$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Reg_Profile_images WHERE UIN='$uin' AND `primary` = '1' LIMIT 1");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {

$image = $row[2];


if (!file_exists("$root/thumnail_user_images/$image"))
{
   require("$root/include/image_resizing_function.php");     //create image
   $image = new SimpleImage();
   $image->load("$root/raw_user_images/$image");
   $image->resizeToWidth(250);
   $image->save("$root/thumnail_user_images/$image");
   $image->output();


}

else {


readfile("$root/thumnail_user_images/$image");




}
}
//End Image file

You need to pick a different name for the instance of your class. You are already using $image as the name of the image in $image = $row[2]; When you use $image = new SimpleImage();, you are overwriting the image name, but you are still trying to use $image as though it is the image name. The error occurs because $image now contain an instance of your class.
