From looking at the little bit of code you have wrote I’m not sure how you are going about it, but I would think a normal loop through files & passing the path to the image to imagecreatefromjpeg() would work.

If it doesn’t you could always take off the ‘@’ to see what error it’s throwing back and work from there. I’d give it a go, but I don’t have access to my localhost at the moment to test it out.
