If you want to have the images placed in a subfolder of the upload path, use this kind of mask:
##path##/subfolder/##name##_thumb.jpg

I'm uploading to a variable folder:
$ppu->path = "images/case_images/".$testpath;

then 3 instances of SIPP2 with the following masks:

$sipporiginal->setMask("##path####name##_orig.jpg";
$sipplarge->setMask("##path##/large/##name##_large.jpg";
$sippthumbs->setMask("##path##/thumbs/##name##_thumb.jpg";

The first $sipporiginal creates the image, but the other 2 images are not created, and no subfolders created.

Error message:
"Warning: imagejpeg(images/case_images/wcdgw02092013\/large/P1040132_large.JPG): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\ForensicsDB\ScriptLibrary\lib\cImageEditor\cGD2ImageEditor.php on line 1158"

I see there's an extra backslash in this error message before the /large/

However if I leave out the subfolder part in the masks: /large/ or /thumbs/
then everything works. The 3 different sized images are created in the same variable folder.

Any suggestions?

BTW I have several posts in the last month that have not been responded to.

Hello David,

In order to save the image into a folder, SIP PHP needs that folder to be created already.

Thanks Teodor - I thought it would automatically create the folder.
Back to the drawing board!
Cheers

I managed to solve this like so:

<?php
if(!file_exists("images/case_images/".$testpath."/thumbs")) 
{ 
mkdir("images/case_images/".$testpath."/thumbs",true);
}
if(!file_exists("images/case_images/".$testpath."/large"))
{
mkdir("images/case_images/".$testpath."/large",true);
}
?>

($testpath is the variable folder)
then the SIPP setmasks worked:

$sipporiginal->setMask("##path####name##_orig.jpg";
.
$sipplarge->setMask("##path##/large/##name##_large.jpg";
.
$sippthumbs->setMask("##path##/thumbs/##name##_thumb.jpg";

Thank you for sharing your workaround with us!

Thought I'd just mention that the MKDIR code block should go in between the PPU & SIPP Server Behavior code blocks, otherwise the subfolders won't be created. Initially I had the MKDIR code block before the PPU code.

I have an Ajax form that allows repeat uploads on the page, and found that the first image uploaded was not being processed after upload, because the subfolders (thumbs & large) were only created before the second image was uploaded.

I moved the MKDIR code below the PPU code and now it all works. Lots of head scratching!

this should really be included in the extension. It will happen all the time that a new subfolder needs to be created. lets say you want to put files in a "month folder" of a specific year.
