I changed the structure of the function and now it works. For reference new structure.

		function saveImage($loc,$name,$ref,$caption){
			// *** Get extension
			
			$db = new DB();
				
			$checkName = $db->Query("SELECT * FROM `lik_photos` WHERE `lik_photos`.`ptName` = \"".clean_input($ref)."\"");
				
			if(mysql_num_rows($checkName) == 0){
				
				$extension = strrchr($loc.$name, '.');
				$extension = strtolower($extension);
				
				$name = date(zY) . hash('crc32',$name);
				
				switch($extension)
				{
					case '.jpg':
					case '.jpeg':
						if (imagetypes() & IMG_JPG) {	
							imagejpeg($this->thumb, $loc.'/thumb/'.$name.$extension, 70);
							imagejpeg($this->image, $loc.'/full/'.$name.$extension, 100);
						}
						break;
				
					case '.gif':
						if (imagetypes() & IMG_GIF) {
							imagegif($this->thumb, $loc.'/thumb/'.$name.$extension);
							imagegif($this->image, $loc.'/full/'.$name.$extension);
						}
						break;
				
					case '.png':
							
						if (imagetypes() & IMG_PNG) {
							imagepng($this->thumb, $loc.'/thumb/'.$name.$extension, 3);
							imagepng($this->image, $loc.'/full/'.$name.$extension, 0);
						}
						break;
				
					default:
						break;
				}
				
				#TODO:ERROR Check for Same named image
				

				$db->Query("INSERT INTO `lik_photos` (`ptName`,`ptCaption`,`ptURL`) VALUES (\"".clean_input($ref)."\", \"".clean_input($caption)."\", \"".$name.$extension."\")");
					
				imagedestroy($this->thumb);
				imagedestroy($this->image);
			}
			else{
				imagedestroy($this->thumb);
				imagedestroy($this->image);
				
				header('Location: page/admin/uploadPhotos/errorNameAlreadyUsed');
				exit;
			}

		}

Here is the entire function

		function saveImage($loc,$name,$ref,$caption){
			// *** Get extension
			$extension = strrchr($loc.$name, '.');
			$extension = strtolower($extension);
			
			$name = date(zY) . hash('crc32',$name);
			
			switch($extension)
			{
				case '.jpg':
				case '.jpeg':
					if (imagetypes() & IMG_JPG) {	
						imagejpeg($this->thumb, $loc.'/thumb/'.$name.$extension, 70);
						imagejpeg($this->image, $loc.'/full/'.$name.$extension, 100);
					}
					break;
			
				case '.gif':
					if (imagetypes() & IMG_GIF) {
						imagegif($this->thumb, $loc.'/thumb/'.$name.$extension);
						imagegif($this->image, $loc.'/full/'.$name.$extension);
					}
					break;
			
				case '.png':
						
					if (imagetypes() & IMG_PNG) {
						imagepng($this->thumb, $loc.'/thumb/'.$name.$extension, 3);
						imagepng($this->image, $loc.'/full/'.$name.$extension, 0);
					}
					break;
			
				default:
					break;
			}
			
			#TODO:ERROR Check for Same named image
				
			$db = new DB();
			
			$checkName = $db->Query("SELECT * FROM `lik_photos` WHERE `lik_photos`.`ptName` = \"".clean_input($ref)."\"");
			
			if(mysql_num_rows($checkName) == 0){
				$db->Query("INSERT INTO `lik_photos` (`ptName`,`ptCaption`,`ptURL`) VALUES (\"".clean_input($ref)."\", \"".clean_input($caption)."\", \"".$name.$extension."\")");
					
				imagedestroy($this->thumb);
				imagedestroy($this->image);
			}
			else{
				imagedestroy($this->thumb);
				imagedestroy($this->image);
				
				header('Location: page/admin/uploadPhotos/errorNameAlreadyUsed');
				exit;
			}

		}

ps. The next step I plan to do is change my queries to PDO ones

Ah ok, that makes sense now..

Cheers

Thanks for placing this in the correct place, but I am actually looking for more the likes of sites that other users check regularly for industry related articles etc.
