Resizing the image in php for viewing purposes only
Okay, the reason I posted this is because I wasn't sure what to search for. I'll try to explain it as clearly as I can.
Say, I have an image sized 800x600. The box I've allotted for the image is 150x150 and has to be satisfied at all times. I can only allow an image to be shown at a maximum size of 150px for both height and width. So, technically, the image has to be scaled down to 200x150.
Now, the question:
Is there a way I can crop the height so it only shows 150x150? This is for viewing purposes only. I don't need to save the image as a new file.
A good example is your profile page in Twitter. It shows your profile image cropped but when you click on it, you still get the image you originally uploaded.
[EDIT] Here's what I'm trying to achieve. Get the smaller side in terms of pixels, resize it to 150px then hide the overflowing part of the other side. Again, no saving involved. Just for people's viewing pleasure.
Solution
I use a simple PHP class which has several options for resizing. You can easily store the thumbnails via this class. As @jeroen said, you only have to do it once and they can be cached. It just requires PHP5 and GD library. Here is usage example:
// *** Include the class
include("resize-class.php");
// *** 1) Initialise / load image
$resizeObj = new resize('sample.jpg');
// *** 2) Resize image (options: exact, portrait, landscape, auto, crop)
$resizeObj -> resizeImage(150, 150, 'crop');
// *** 3) Save image ('image-name', 'quality [int]')
$resizeObj -> saveImage('sample-resized.jpg', 100);
And this is that class:
<?php
Class resize
{
// *** Class variables
private $image;
private $width;
private $height;
private $imageResized;
function __construct($fileName)
{
// *** Open up the file
$this->image = $this->openImage($fileName);
// *** Get width and height
$this->width = imagesx($this->image);
$this->height = imagesy($this->image);
}
## --------------------------------------------------------
private function openImage($file)
{
// *** Get extension
$extension = strtolower(strrchr($file, '.'));
switch($extension)
{
case '.jpg':
case '.jpeg':
$img = @imagecreatefromjpeg($file);
break;
case '.gif':
$img = @imagecreatefromgif($file);
break;
case '.png':
$img = @imagecreatefrompng($file);
break;
default:
$img = false;
break;
}
return $img;
}
## --------------------------------------------------------
public function resizeImage($newWidth, $newHeight, $option="auto")
{
// *** Get optimal width and height - based on $option
$optionArray = $this->getDimensions($newWidth, $newHeight, $option);
$optimalWidth = $optionArray['optimalWidth'];
$optimalHeight = $optionArray['optimalHeight'];
// *** Resample - create image canvas of x, y size
$this->imageResized = imagecreatetruecolor($optimalWidth, $optimalHeight);
imagecopyresampled($this->imageResized, $this->image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $optimalWidth, $optimalHeight, $this->width, $this->height);
// *** if option is 'crop', then crop too
if ($option == 'crop') {
$this->crop($optimalWidth, $optimalHeight, $newWidth, $newHeight);
