I would like to know if there is a way to change an uploaded files dimentions to a specified dimention and make the size of the file adhere to a specified size, I have a person uploading huge files after being told to make them smaller, this guy refuses to listen to me can I force the files to shrink and adhere to my rules?

Hi,

Here is an old image manipulator I wrote early last year . I have not tested it since then, but I still believe it will work..

<?  
## this image manipulator class was written by veedeoo or poorboy 2012
## feel free to modify, extend this clas as you wish.
## does not have any warranty of any kind

class ReduceImage{
    private $imageLoc = null;
    private $outImageLoc = null;
    private $imageResizePoint = null;


public function __construct($imageLoc,$outImageLoc,$imageQuality){
    $this->imgLoc = $imageLoc;
    $this->outLoc = $outImageLoc;
    $this->quality = $imageQuality;
}

protected function getImageInfo(){
 list($this->x,$this->y) = getimagesize($this->imgLoc);

 return array($this->x, $this->y);

}
public function createImage(){
    $this->imageX_Y = self::getImageInfo();
    $this->newImage = imagecreatetruecolor($this->imageX_Y[0],$this->imageX_Y[1]);

    ## in production server use code below
    //$this->newImage = @imagecreatetruecolor($imageX_Y[0],$imageX_Y[1])

  //$this->newX_Y = self::getImageInfo();
  $this->newfile = imagecreatefromjpeg($this->imgLoc);
  imagecopyresampled($this->newImage, $this->newfile, 0, 0, 0, 0, $this->imageX_Y[0], $this->imageX_Y[1], $this->imageX_Y[0], $this->imageX_Y[1]);


 imagejpeg($this->newImage,$this->outLoc,$this->quality);
 ## in production server use code below
 //@imagejpeg($this->newImage,$this->outLoc,$this->imageResize);

// return array($this->newImage,$this->outLoc,$this->newfile);

return $this->outLoc;
imagedestroy($this->newImage);
imagedestroy($this->newfile);

}




}

To use the class above, just provide the required parameters..

  ## quality of 50 is acceptable, but you may want to experiment from 60.
$quality = 60; 
$reducethis = new ReduceImage("images/sample.jpg","images/output1.jpg",$quality);
$image = $reducethis->createImage();

echo '<img src="'.$image.'">';

I hope this helps. If not, there should be someone else here that is a lot knowledgeable than me.. I am pretty sure of that..

The above is the quality scaler or reducer that will help you reduce the file size. Below is another class I wrote from early last year. This has already been posted here at daniweb, but I can't find it.

Class below will properly scale any images to your desired size

class Scaler{
   ## Singleton Pattern begins
   public static $instance = NULL;
   private function __construct(){
                ## if there will be another class needed by this class, you can create an instance here, else just leave this empty
            }
   public static function getInstance() {
                if(!isset(self::$instance)) {

                ## we create an instance of the class Scaler if there is no instance running
                  self::$instance = new Scaler();
                }
                return self::$instance;
              } 
    private function  __clone() {
      ## don't worry about this, just to make sure there is no clone going in the background.

thank you very much I will try thoseand let you know if they work or not
