 * Hello
    i’m trying to build an plugin which selects the first image within a post,
   and resize it to my wanted width/height.
 * After i’ve implemented the function image_resize with my filepath i get the following
   error:
 * error_loading_image -> File ….. exists?
 * after a google marathon i haven’t found any solution.
    i found that the error
   message comes from the function “file_exists”…my file exists and there are 777
   permissions on uploads/ folder…
 * what can i do ? are my images blocked by safe_mods or something else?
 * thanks for help

 * I have the same problem. My file exists (I have retrieved the dimensions of the
   image) but the image_resize-function suggests that the file doesn’t exist. Does
   anybody have an idea?

 * I’ve found it: the imagename had a “[http://”-string](http://”-string) in it 
   and the file_exists-function that is called from image_resize can’t handle http-
   protocol. After translating this to a relative pathname everything works fine.
