Codeigniter Image_lib library source_img

Question

Here's my code :

if(isset($_FILES["image"])){
            $upload_dir = "files/images/user/profile/";
            $ext = end(explode(".", $_FILES["image"]["name"]));
            $config['upload_path'] = $upload_dir."original/";
            $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png|jpeg';
            $config['max_size'] = "2048";
            $config['encrypt_name'] = TRUE;
            // $config['file_name'] = $this->session->userdata("username").time().".".$ext;

            $this->load->library("upload", $config);
            if($this->upload->do_upload("image")){
                $image = $this->upload->data();
                $conf_res["image_library"] = "gd2";
                $conf_res["source_img"] = realpath($upload_dir."original/".$image["file_name"]);
                $conf_res["new_image"] = $upload_dir."200x200/".$image["file_name"];
                $conf_res["create_thumb"] = TRUE;
                $conf_res["maintain_ratio"] = TRUE;
                $conf_res["width"] = 200;
                $conf_res["height"] = 200;

                $this->load->library("image_lib", $conf_res);
                if($this->image_lib->resize()){
                    echo "done."; die();
                } else {
                    echo $this->image_lib->display_errors().$conf_res["new_image"].$image["file_name"];
                }

            } else {
                $error = $this->upload->display_errors();
                echo $error.$config['upload_path'];
            }

        }

And the error i'm getting is :

<p>You must specify a source image in your preferences.</p>
<p>Your server does not support the GD function required to process this type of image.</p>

I've been thinking for about an hour what is wrong with my path. I've even checked phpinfo if it has gd2 installed. I cant find out what is the problem!

try `echo realpath($upload_dir."original/".$image["file_name"])` if the file doesn't exist it will return false; ie nothing will be displayed — Nouphal.M, Jan 03 '14 at 16:52

Try changing from

$conf_res["source_img"] = realpath($upload_dir."original/".$image["file_name"]);

to this

$conf_res['source_image']   = realpath($upload_dir."original/".$image["file_name"]);

and this also

$this->load->library('image_lib'); 
$this->image_lib->initialize($conf_res);

I've tried this already and again on your advice. Its giving me the same error. The upload part works great but the resize just can't get the source path. – Dangling Cruze Jan 03 '14 at 17:02
check whether gd is installed var_dump(gd_info()); Also try $config['source_image'] = $upload_dir."original/".$image["file_name"]; – Nouphal.M Jan 03 '14 at 17:04
yes it is installed and it does support the types that i'm dealing with. – Dangling Cruze Jan 03 '14 at 17:06
I've tried var_dump($config) and it doesnt give me anything at $config['new_image']. It is empty! – Dangling Cruze Jan 03 '14 at 17:14
its not `$config` it your array name `$conf_res` i have updated the code – Nouphal.M Jan 03 '14 at 17:15
I've changed that when you mentioned it. I did a `$config=array();` and then assigned values. – Dangling Cruze Jan 03 '14 at 17:16
