The following script will easily allow you to resize images using PHP and the GD library. If you’re looking to resize uploaded images or easily generate thumbnails give it a try
Usage Save the code from the ‘the code’ section below as SimpleImage.php and take a look at the following examples of how to use the script. The first example below will load a file named picture.jpg resize it to 250 pixels wide and 400 pixels high and resave it as picture2.jpg
<?php
include('SimpleImage.php');
$image = new SimpleImage();
$image->load('picture.jpg');
$image->resize(250,400);
$image->save('picture2.jpg');
?>
<?php
/*
* File: SimpleImage.php
*/
class SimpleImage {
var $image;
var $image_type;
function load($filename) {
$image_info = getimagesize($filename);
$this->image_type = $image_info[2];
if( $this->image_type == IMAGETYPE_JPEG ) {
$this->image = imagecreatefromjpeg($filename);
} elseif( $this->image_type == IMAGETYPE_GIF ) {
$this->image = imagecreatefromgif($filename);
} elseif( $this->image_type == IMAGETYPE_PNG ) {
$this->image = imagecreatefrompng($filename);
}
}
function save($filename, $image_type=IMAGETYPE_JPEG, $compression=75, $permissions=null) {
