PHP Image crop

Hi

I need a script that can open a gif file from the server (100x100px) and resize it 10 100x75px.

I only need it to work with gif files.


Also is there a way to add a 1 px solid black border around the edge?

Thanks

Daniel

You may find PHP's GD library useful.

Functions you may need:

Opening an image file:
Code:
resource imagecreatefromgif (string $filename)

Creating an image:
Code:
resource imagecreate (int $width, int $height)

Resizing an image:
Code:
bool imagecopyresized (resource $destinationImage, resource $sourceImage, int $destinationX, int $destinationY, int $sourceX, int $sourceY, int $destinationWidth, int $destinationHeight, int $sourceWidth, int $sourceHeight)

Copying an image without resizing:
Code:
bool imagecopy (resource $destinationImage, resource $sourceImage, int $destinationX, int $destinationY, int $sourceX, int $sourceY, int $sourceWidth, int $sourceHeight)

Allocating a colour for an image: (First call will set the background colour)
Code:
int imagecolorallocate (resource $image, int $red, int $green, int $blue)

Saving the image to file:
Code:
bool imagegif (resource $image, string $filename)

Outputting the image to browser:
Code:
bool imagegif (resource $image)


For your question, I would suggest the solutions that way:

To resize an image
(Note that resizing an image from 100x100 to 100x75 changes the aspect ratio of the image)

  1. Load the source image file
  2. Create a new destination image with desired size
  3. Resize and copy the source image to destination image
  4. Save the destination image


To add a 1 pixel black border to an image

  1. Load the source image file
  2. Create a new destination image with the size of source file plus 2 for both width and height
  3. Set the background colour of destination image to black
  4. Copy source image to destination image
  5. Save the destination


Hope this can help you

Thanks for your reply rickylau.

I have tryed lots of ways to do this and it keeps saving the 100x75 image as just a black fill.

That's because GIF isn't supported in the newer versions of GD.

You should consider using PNGs. They allow much more colors (24bit) and alpha transparency.

EDIT: The english page is much more updatet, than the german one:

php.net wrote:
Note: GIF support was removed from the GD library in Version 1.6, and added back in Version 2.0.28. This function is not available between these versions.


Current version on frihost seems to be 2.0.34 (at least on this server).
So check if the new version is installed on your server with the following
Code:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
