Code Question

Hello, I have a model function that I have been working on every thing seems to be working fine

I would like to no should I make a if statement for my return base_url() at the bottom of page.

If so what would you recommend?

PHP Code:

<?php

class Model_image_resize extends CI_Model {

    public function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->load->library('image_lib');
    }

    public function resize($image, $width, $height) {
        $old_image_path = FCPATH . 'images/';
        $new_image_path = FCPATH . 'images/cache/';
        $old_image =  $old_image_path . $image;
        $img = '';
        $extension =  pathinfo($old_image, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
        $old_image_convert = substr($image, 0,  strrpos($image, '.')) . '-' . $width . 'x' . $height . '.' . $extension;
        $new_image = $new_image_path . $old_image_convert;

        if (file_exists($old_image)) {

           $config['image_library'] = 'gd2';
           $config['source_image'] = $old_image;
           $config['create_thumb'] = FALSE;
           $config['maintain_ratio'] = FALSE;
           $config['width'] = $width;
           $config['height'] = $height;
           $config['new_image'] = $new_image;

           $this->image_lib->clear();
                  $this->image_lib->initialize($config);
                  $this->image_lib->resize();

                  $files = explode($new_image_path, $new_image);

                  foreach ($files as $file) {
                    $img =  $file;
                  }
                   
           } else {

               @unlink($new_image);

           }
           
           return base_url('images/cache') . '/' . $img;
    }
}

There's only one rule - please don't tell anyone to go and read the manual.  Sometimes the manual just SUCKS!
