WAIT - DISREGARD THAT LAST POST - I forgot to // some other debug lines - the output is inconsistent with what I was testing (Robert's code) - I'll do better..... leonski wrote:

I think the error message is trying to tell you that "/usr/local/bin/mogrify" does not exist.

:-( yeah it does and it works under the terminal (nicely I might add, thanks ImageMagick). leonski.

Because you've used escapeshellargs() (or whatever it is) it's probably treating the entire parameter to exec() (excluding the string concatenation for output redirection) as the command to execute. I know you said you tried it otherwise but try the following: if( file_exists( $imagefile ) ) {

    $arg = escapeshellarg( $imagefile );
    exec( "/usr/local/bin/mogrify $arg -resize 95x72 ");

} Cheers, Rob.

did: if( file_exists( $imagefile ) )

            {
                $arg = escapeshellarg( $imagefile );
                echo $str= "/usr/local/bin/mogrify $arg -resize 95x72 ";
                exec($str);
            }

added a line so I could see the string.... got: /usr/local/bin/mogrify '/tmp/phpPdCiGS' -resize 95x72 Warning: fopen('/tmp/phpPdCiGS') [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Library/WebServer/Documents/build2/admin/classes/class_upload.php on line 254 so again - how does it get past the file_exists if it doesn't?!!! keep it coming Robert....;-) leonski.
