Image is cropped but is turned completely black??

[eluser]Wonder Woman[/eluser]
Hi,

I have a form which uploads an image and copies it in to three other folders but resizes it before they are put there. However, I need these images to be the exact sizes which I specify without stretching etc, so I have tried the cropping feature but I can't seem to get it right because the image is black when I look at it.

I would be most grateful if you could help me.

Controller

Code:

$config['upload_path'] = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/website/uploads/original/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png|bmp|jpeg';

$this->load->library('upload');
$this->upload->initialize($config);    
                        
if(!$this->upload->do_upload())
{
   $error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
   $this->load->view('submit', $error);
}    
else {
   $data['upload_data'] = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());
   $file_name = $this->upload->file_name;
                        
   list($image_width, $image_height) = getimagesize($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/website/uploads/original/'.$file_name);
            
   // create small size
   $config['image_library'] = 'GD2';
   $config['source_image'] = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/website/uploads/original/'.$file_name;
   $config['new_image'] = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/website/uploads/small/'.$file_name;
   $config['maintain_ratio'] = TRUE;
   $config['width'] = 181;
   $config['height'] = 115;
   $config['master_dim'] = 'width';
                    
   $this->load->library('image_lib');
   $this->image_lib->initialize($config);
                    
   if($image_width >= $config['width'] AND $image_height >= $config['height'])
   {
      if (!$this->image_lib->resize())
      {
         echo $this->image_lib->display_errors();
      } else {
         if(file_exists($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/website/uploads/small/'.$file_name))
         {
            list($image_width, $image_height) = getimagesize($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/website/uploads/small/'.$file_name);
            if($image_height > '115')
            {
           $config['source_image'] = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/website/uploads/small/'.$file_name;
           $y_axis = $image_height - 115;
           $config['y_axis'] = $y_axis;
           $config['x_axis'] = 181;
           $this->image_lib->initialize($config);
           if (!$this->image_lib->crop())
               {
                  echo $this->image_lib->display_errors();
               } else {
                  echo "cropped";    
           }
            }
         }
      }
   }
}

If you could tell me where I am going wrong that would be great, I want all images to be 181 by 115.

Many thanks.

Does your script work on LOCALHOST? If it does then check your GD Library.

Code:

$config['image_library'] = 'GD2'; // my default to ONLINE Library
  if(LOCALHOST)
  {  
    $config['image_library'] = 'php_gd2';
  }
