Reading File from Hard Drive

Just learning php

[adni18]

Hello. I am creating a resize script that takes a jpg image from the user's computer and resizes it to 768px for height, while retaining the original proportions. Below is my script, but how can I get the image from the user's computer, instead of reading it directly from the server?

<?php
$imgfile = 'smp.jpg';
header('Content-type: image/jpeg');

list($width, $height) = getimagesize($imgfile);
$newheight = 768;
$newwidth = $newheight * ($width / $height);

$thumb = ImageCreateTrueColor($newwidth,$newheight);
$source = imagecreatefromjpeg($imgfile);

imagecopyresized($thumb, $source, 0, 0, 0, 0, $newwidth, $newheight, $width, $height);

imagejpeg($thumb);
?>

First you'll have to have the file uploaded. Here's a bit coverage on that:

Of course, once the file is uploaded, your code should cover the rest. Just make sure the tmp directory that is used in your PHP configuration is set with the appropriate permissions. Hope that helps :)
