The imagecreatefromjpeg() requires the file name of a local JPEG file as its parameter:

Code: Select all

$image = imagecreatefromjpeg('../local/file.jpg');


The easiest solution might be to copy the code from get_crop.php and use the imagecreatefromstring() function:

Code: Select all

// get_crop.php code goes here
$image = imagecreatefromstring($imageStringFromGetCropPHPCode);


A more complex, less efficient solution would be to try to use cURL to retrieve the image from get_crop.php:

Code: Select all

// Retrieve the image string using cURL
$ch = curl_init("http://www.example.url/get_crop.php?id={$lid}");
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
$imageString = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

// Process the image string
$image = imagecreatefromstring($imageString);


I hope that helps. Good luck!
