how to fix [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: in php?

Question

i have a worning massege only on localhost...

"Warning: getimagesize(images/cat/) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\gifts\libraries\leftmenu.php on line 104"

while($cat=mysql_fetch_object($cats))
    {


        $maincatname = str_replace("&","--",$cat->name);
        $image=$cat->image; 
        $catid=$cat->categoryID;
            $image_upload_path = "images/cat/";
                $url = $image_upload_path.$cat->image;              
                    $www = getimagesize($url);          

                    if (getimagesize($url))
                { 
                    $www = getimagesize($url);   //echo print_r($www). "<br>"; 
                    $width=$www[0]; //echo $width."...<br>";

                    if ($www[0] > 120)
                    { 
                        $www = "181";
                    }
                }

Please don't be offended, but you should improve on you coding style. Here's a few things to start: 1) you do `$image=$cat->image;` but continue to use `$cat->image`; 2) `$www` is a terrible name for variable that stores image size! 3) you store `$www = getimagesize($url);` but in later code call this funtion at least 2 more times, which goes to open/read the file each time - a terrible waste of execution time. — mkilmanas, Jun 12 '11 at 10:19

Display the value of $url using echo $url directly ablove the first getimagesize($url) and confirm if the image exist on your local server.

@shoaib akhunzada: To quote pekka: `$cat->image` seems to be empty. You should first check if the data you process contains valid values. In case of invalid values, don't process further on. That will prevent errors. – hakre Jun 12 '11 at 11:02
@shoaib akhunzada, you actually get that error when the image does not exist, i just wanted you to confirm is the file name echoed really exists. That is you have to check the folder where the file is and confirm. echo $url will not solve your problem, it will only assist you in finding out if the filename is even valid – Ogugua Belonwu Jun 12 '11 at 11:49
@Ogugua there is images in folder... but $url is not present in table i will try to fix.. thanks – shoaib akhunzada Jun 13 '11 at 04:43
