Php to compress image

Hi ,
I have a php script that compresses an image on upload. It works fine as a standalone script outside chronoforms but I'm trying to create a form where it would do the same thing. So I have a simple form with (in load) views, a file field and a submit button. In the submit Action section I have the php script to compress and upload the compressed image. which works until I click submit then I get the error:
​
"Warning: imagejpeg(components/com_chronoforms6/chronoforms/components/com_chronoforms6/chronoforms/uploads/myimage.png):
failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/www/mywebsite/libraries/cegcore2/admin/extensions/chronofc/functions/php/php_output.php(6)
: eval()'d code on line 26"
​
I realise the file path must be wrong, but not sure how to correct it? I've tried using $path but no luck. My upload path is "// File upload path
$uploadPath = "components/com_chronoforms6/chronoforms/components/com_chronoforms6/chronoforms/uploads/";
​
What should the path be?

Hi Ian,
​
The path will be like this:

$this->get("upload_action_name.field_name.path");

You need to use the correct upload_action_name and field_name

Hi Max,
​
Thank you, that worked and got rid of the error message but the image doesn't upload face-meh-blank
​
$uploadPath = $this->get("submit.image.components/com_chronoforms6/chronoforms/components/com_chronoforms6/chronoforms/uploads/uploads");

Replace "submit" with the name of the upload file action. Unless you literally called it "submit"
Replace the giant path you have with the word "path"

the code I posted, after you update it with the variables needed, should give you the uploaded image path, which can be used in your PHP code.
​
Please post the debug data you get after submitting the form!
