  Hi, this PHP class is awesome.

  I’m building a bespoke content management system and this has really taken the hassle out of creating thumbnails and maximum-sized images for my photo gallery module; it does everything I need.

  Congratulations on producing something so, so simple and easy to use for something that’s so boring and meticulous.

  @Karl,

  It’s totally possible, check out the class itself, you can use the save method:

  $thumb->save(’/path/to/the/fileyouwanttosave.jpg’);

  I get the following error when uploading GIF images.

  Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagegif() in /home/cust1/user1376116/html/dtools/classes/thumbnail.inc.php on line

  Its weird because I checked the actual class and its happening within this function (”show”):

  function show($quality=100,$name = ”) {
  switch($this->format) {
  case ‘GIF’:
  if($name != ”) {
  ImageGif($this->newImage,$name);
  }
  else {
  header(’Content-type: image/gif’);
  ImageGif($this->newImage);
  }
  break;
  case ‘JPG’:
  if($name != ”) {
  ImageJpeg($this->newImage,$name,$quality);
  }
  else {

  Hi there! First of all awesome script! It’s beautifully written and clearly explained.

  On second hand I am having some trouble displaying two or more thumbnails at a time. How should I do that? I try calling two times by using changing the filename, but both images are not different. weird -_-U

  The resulting images seem to be renamed the same .. in the example provided is ’show_image.php.jpg.jpg’.

  Is there a way to provide a custom name here like thumb1.jpg for instance?
•

  Just to say that there is actually no issue with this. I don’t know why I wasn’t able to show different thumbnails and every image looked the same.. (maybe some cache issue). So everything works as expected.

  This script is waaaay easy to use. For calling images to be clearly resized and cropped, it does a great job … especially with its flexibility … really suits my need to display different thumb types, image sizes depending on where they are to be displayed on the site. Top job.

  Hey Ian,
  first of all. A great script!
  What also will be great, if adding watermarks to thumbs will be integrated. for example a little zoom icon in the right corner.
  think thats often an issue when generating thumbnails.

  I’ve had great success with this class- thanks so much. It’s a live saver.

  However, I’ve recently tried to undertake a project that requires creating (and saving) varying sized versions of 24-bit transparent PNG source images. I’m able to create and save the files, but the transparency seems to be lost in the process, with the background being filled in with black in the final image.

  Is the class fundamentally incompatible with transparent PNGs, or am I simply doing something wrong.

  Thanks!

  Hi guys, I hope I can help you out a bit.

  I’m trying out the class myself and It wasn’t working directly from uploaded files. I have looked into the script and it appears to do a simple file type check based on the file extension, which for an uploaded file (in *nix anyhow) is a generated string with no file extension.

  So we could rename the file before passing it into the script with the rename(); function

  or

  We can rewrite the thumbnail construct to include file type checking via either :

  the PECL file info functions http://es.php.net/manual/en/function.finfo-file.php

  or (if you don’t have access to PECL)

  the deprecated mime_content_type (); function. http://es.php.net/manual/en/function.mime-content-type.php
• 
  Damian Casale
  Jun 14 '08 at 5:47 pm

  As my client does not have access to PECL I have changed the constructor to use the mime_content_type () function.

  //if there are no errors, determine the file format

  if($this->error == false) {
  switch ( mime_content_type ( $this->fileName ) ) {
  case ‘image/gif’:
  $this->format = ‘GIF’;
  break;
  case ‘image/png’:
  $this->format = ‘PNG’;
  break;
  case ‘image/jpg’:
  case ‘image/jpeg’:
  $this->format = ‘JPG’;
  break;
  default:
  $this->errmsg = ‘Unknown file format’;

  $this->error = true;
  break;
  }

  }

  Is it possible to resize only with given Width?
  For example, you set something like that:
  $thumb->resize_width(125);
  and it resize the width to 125, and the height with the same ratio as (new width, old width).

  Great script – and thank you for the hard work!

  I was just wondering how to save if the path to file and the filename is called is a $string variable?

  $thumb->save(’images/thumbnails/$thumb’); will create a file called $thumb and not the name of the original file

  If I use a $dirName then it will not save anywhere as it can not find a direcotory name called $dirName.

  What settings do I need to ensure that my resized image is always 150 pixels wide – with the height resized proportionally. Currently if I use $thumb->resize(150,150); I get the height that is 150pixels and the width smaller than I want. This is because the height is always bigger than the width on the original images.

  Thanks for the script. Much appreciated.

  All the best,

  Look at your variable $thumb. You are trying to pass it an object of $thumb not a string variable. Try it with something different than $thumb. Try something like this:

  $imagename = ’somefile.jpg’;
  $thumb->save(’thumbnails/’.$imagename);

  Gerardo,

  I ran into a similar problem, typically when an uploaded file would fail to complete at some point during the upload. These “bad” files would then choke the thumbnailer class when it ran on them.

  I can’t offer a solution that will prevent the files from becoming corrupted, but I was able to use the following code to check and make sure that the .jpg file is in fact correctly formed before I attempt to thumbnail it (which I was doing via a chron job):

  ———-
  $f = fopen($tmpReadFile, ‘r’);
  $l = filesize($tmpReadFile);
  $soi = fread($f, 2);
  fseek($f, $l-2);
  $eoi = fread($f, 2);
  $soiMarker = unpack(”H*”,$soi);
  $eoiMarker = unpack(”H*”,$eoi);
  if (intval($soiMarker[1],16) == 0xFFD8 && intval($eoiMarker[1],16) == 0xFFD9){
  // file is good – proceed with thumbnailing
  }
  ———-

  In the above code, $tmpReadFile is the full path to the file on the server.

  Basically, the code above checks the beginning and the end of the file for opening and closing JPG markers. If they’re both there, that means the file starts and ends correctly and it’s (fairly) safe to assume it’s good. Not foolproof, but weeded out all of my corrupted files.

  I hope that helps.

  Great class. I’ve used it to resize an image to 500px width and then make a perfect 100px * 100px thumbnail using the following code:

  —

  //– upload image
  move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photoupload']['tmp_name'], $path . $filename);

  //– resize to 500px
  $thumb = new thumbnail($path . $filename);
  $thumb->resize(500);
  $thumb->save($path . $filename);
  $thumb->save($path . $thumb_filename);
  unset($thumb);

  //– create thumbnail
  $thumb = new thumbnail($path . $thumb_filename);
  if ($size[0] > $size[1])
  $thumb->resize(”, 100);
  else
  $thumb->resize(100, ”);
  $thumb->save($path . $thumb_filename);
  unset($thumb);

  //– crop thumbnail
  $thumb = new thumbnail($path . $thumb_filename);
  $thumb->cropFromCenter(100);
  $thumb->save($path . $thumb_filename);

  I smashed two functions together to create another; The Top Center Crop.
  Put this in your $thumb list:
  //create a 100×100 pixel crop from the top center
  $thumb->TopCenterCrop(0,100,100);

  And put this in the thumbnail.inc.php file after the crop function:
  /**
  * Advanced cropping function that crops an image using $centerX and $startY as the top-center.
  *
  * @param int $centerX
  * @param int $startY
  * @param int $width
  * @param int $height
  */
  public function TopCenterCrop($startY,$width,$height) {
  //make sure the cropped area is not greater than the size of the image
  if($width > $this->currentDimensions['width']) $width = $this->currentDimensions['width'];
  if($height > $this->currentDimensions['height']) $height = $this->currentDimensions['height'];
  //make sure not starting outside the image
  $centerX = intval(($this->currentDimensions['width'] – $width) / 2);
  if(($startY + $height) > $this->currentDimensions['height']) $startY = ($this->currentDimensions['height'] – $height);
  if($startY workingImage = ImageCreateTrueColor($width,$height);
  }
  else {
  $this->workingImage = ImageCreate($width,$height);
  }

  imagecopyresampled(
  $this->workingImage,
  $this->oldImage,
  0,
  0,
  $centerX,
  $startY,
  $width,

  $this->oldImage = $this->workingImage;
  $this->newImage = $this->workingImage;
  $this->currentDimensions['width'] = $width;

  Do you got a black background, on your transparent PNG. Me 2… but I have the solution:

  Add this code to row 319 in thumbnail.inc.php above ‘ImageCopyResampled(’:

  if( $this->format == ‘PNG’ ) {
  imagealphablending($this->workingImage, false);
  $colorTransparent = imagecolorallocatealpha($this->workingImage, 0, 0, 0, 127);
  imagefill($this->workingImage, 0, 0, $colorTransparent);
  imagesavealpha($this->workingImage, true);
  }

  Great job mate!

  What I really like about this script is that it works on the fly. You can chose to save the thumb image, or not at all. I’m using it on quite a number of my sites now and it is just so easy to use. It didn’t take me long at all to work out how to string together various classes and best of all, I’ve managed to use it to size images for use as backgrounds (in li and option tags) – without having to fuss with manually producing different sized images. Love the script.

  Just one request for any future developments – currently the resize produces thumbs to a maxWidth and maxHeight value. I found that it would also be handy to have a minWidth and minHeight resize class as well … for those instances where you have a really long landscape image and you want to shrink it down and crop to a square. When there are hundreds of images, it’s hard to work out a ’standard’ maxWidth that would all arrive at a height that is equal to or greater than the cropSize. If there are minimum values set, then one can be sure that one will always get a square after a crop. Making sense?

  Awesome.

  Currently have it running as a library within a CodeIgniter 1.6 install locally and works like a charm.

  In my design i had used fixed aspect ratio of 150×95 for the thumbnails, which the class doesn’t seem to support, but for the picture stream of 100×100 thumbs with cropfromcenter it is just beautiful.

  This is a great script, I have two requests though. Firstly to make the properties in the class protected instead of private to allow extensions to the class without touching your work directly.

  Secondly the ability to make images a fixed height and width and to scale the image inside this box (giving a solid colour on the background). This has been asked for before.

  I’ve tried to extend your class with this but I keep getting solid black lines down the right side of the image and I can’t figure out why, any tips?

  When I set the max width and height above 127, getImageSize() always returns 127 for both width and height.

  So if I did this:

  $max_width = 500;
  $max_height = 500;

  $thumb = new Thumbnail($pathfilename);
  $thumb->resize($max_width, $max_height);
  $thumb->save($pathfilename);

  list($new_width, $new_height) = getimagesize($pathfilename);

  —-
  And I’ll get:
  $new_width = 127
  $new_height = 127

  The strange thing is that the actual resized image has the correct dimension (500 x whatever).

  Again, this problem occurs only when I set the max width and height over 127. Below that, it’s fine.

  Any idea how to fix this?

  Thanks.

  Hello… I have a few questions on your awesome script:

  1) When I try to resize an animated GIF, the result shows only the first frame. How can I get it to keep the animation?

  2) The result also changes the background color to black. Anyway to fix it? I tried to add Edwin’s code (#50 above) if( ($this->format == ‘PNG’) OR ($this->format == ‘GIF’) ), but it didn’t work.

  3) If the original image is already smaller than the max width and height, can I have it skip the resizing process and save it as is?

  Thank you very much.

  I’ve modified the script for the watermark to simplify it. for my application only png files can be used for watermarks. So here is my code:

  //Function to create watermark
  public function watermark($imagesource){
  $pathinfo = pathinfo($imagesource);

  $watermark = @imagecreatefrompng($imagesource);

  $startwidth = ($this->currentDimensions['width']);
  $startheight = ($this->currentDimensions['height']);
  imagecopy($this->workingImage, $watermark, $startwidth, $startheight, 0, 0, $startwidth, $startheight);
  }

  I must admit, I am having a difficult time debugging since I don’t under the $this–>workingimage and php.net doesn’t seem to explain –> or what $this refers to, so that may be my problem.

  Bottom line, No watermark is created, but no errors are generated either.

  the line calling this functions is:

  $thumb->watermark(”/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/images/watermark.png”);
• 
  Michael Matney
  Nov 4 '08 at 11:05 pm

  I corrected the above code example that was provided by Javier. I found two problems in the code. The first is the reference of “workingimage” – the letter i in image should be capitalized “workingImage” not sure if this would have created a problem. I dont think so. However the real problem was with the quotations used around the “png”, “jpeg”, “jpg” – the ascii character used for quote is invalid in php, and I corrected it with the correct quotation marks. This solved the problem and now the function works. Heres the correct code:

  //Function to create watermark
  public function watermark($imagesource){
  $pathinfo = pathinfo($imagesource);
  $var1 = $pathinfo['extension'];
  $var2 = “png”;
  $var3 = “jpeg”;
  $var4 = “jpg”;
  $var5 = “gif”;

  if($var1 == $var2){
  $watermark = @imagecreatefrompng($imagesource);
  }elseif((strcasecmp($var1, $var3) == 0) || (strcasecmp($var1, $var4) == 0)){
  $watermark = @imagecreatefromjpeg($imagesource);
  }elseif(strcasecmp($var1, $var5) == 0){
  $watermark = @imagecreatefromgif($imagesource);
  }

  $watermarkwidth = imagesx($watermark);
  $watermarkheight = imagesy($watermark);
  $startwidth = ($this->currentDimensions['width'] – $watermarkwidth);
  $startheight = ($this->currentDimensions['height'] – $watermarkheight);
  imagecopy($this->workingImage, $watermark, $startwidth, $startheight, 0, 0, $watermarkwidth, $watermarkheight);
  }

  Of course the watermark appears at the bottom of the image, and for my purposes, and Im assuming other peoples purposes, the watermark should be centered to the image. I will repost the code once I have worked this out

  Hi,

  This is a brilliant class, thanks for sharing it.

  I’m not sure how to go about scaling an image down and then cropping it so it is exactly 550 * 400. The problem I’m having is that when I resize the image to be a maximum of 550 px wide and maximum 400 px high, it outputs at 550 x 473 because of the original image ratio, thus making it already too small to crop to size.

  Is there any way around this?

  Thanks
• 
  Rob
  Dec 10 '08 at 6:58 pm

  If you don’t want your images “upscaled” from the thumbnailer (as in, a small image being scaled up to the max height/max width) replace the function in thumbnail.inc.php named public function resize() with:

  /**
  * Resizes image to maxWidth x maxHeight
  *
  * @param int $maxWidth
  * @param int $maxHeight
  */
  public function resize($maxWidth = 0, $maxHeight = 0) {
  $this->maxWidth = $maxWidth;
  $this->maxHeight = $maxHeight;

  if($this -> currentDimensions['width'] > $maxWidth || $this -> currentDimensions['height'] > $maxHeight) {
  $this->calcImageSize($this->currentDimensions['width'],$this->currentDimensions['height']);

  if(function_exists(”ImageCreateTrueColor”)) {
  $this->workingImage = ImageCreateTrueColor($this->newDimensions['newWidth'],$this->newDimensions['newHeight']);
  }
  else {
  $this->workingImage = ImageCreate($this->newDimensions['newWidth'],$this->newDimensions['newHeight']);
  }

  ImageCopyResampled(
  $this->workingImage,
  $this->oldImage,
  0, 0, 0, 0,
  $this->newDimensions['newWidth'],
  $this->newDimensions['newHeight'],
  $this->currentDimensions['width'],
  $this->currentDimensions['height']
  );

  $this->oldImage = $this->workingImage;
  $this->newImage = $this->workingImage;
  $this->currentDimensions['width'] = $this->newDimensions['newWidth'];
  $this->currentDimensions['height'] = $this->newDimensions['newHeight'];
  }
  }

  hope this helps — this may even be a bug unless you developed it to automatically blow-up the size of the thumbnail. . but then again, isn’t a “thumbnail” supposed to represent a big picture into a scaled down one and not the opposite?

  Just my 2cents

  I may edit this file and repost it to be more optimized. If that’s okay
• 
  Rob
  Dec 10 '08 at 7:01 pm

  @Anic: if you want to display more than one thumbnail, you’ll have to just make new objects of the thumbnail class. such as:

  include “thumbnail.inc.php”;

  $myimages = array(”1.jpg”, “2.gif”, “3.png”, “4.jpg”);

  foreach($myimages as $image) {
  $thumb = new Thumbnail($image);
  $thumb->resize(75, 75);
  $thumb->show();
  unset($thumb);
  }

  Hope this helps along with others as well.

  Hi guys, i’ve added the thumbnailer class inside codeigniter’s library. I can generate a thumbnail by calling this function:

  $this->thumbnail->thumbnailer(”assets/images/test.jpg”);
  $this->thumbnail->resize(200,200);
  $this->thumbnail->show();
  $thumb->thumbnail->destruct();
  }

  But this willl generate a page with only the image. But i want to use the function dynamically. In other words, i’m calling the image path from the database, and the thumbnail will be generated accordingly.

  If outside codeigniter, i can use the ” but i don’t know how to use it in codeigniter.

  Nice work on the script.There’s a bug in resize. In order to make the image come out right if it’s smaller then both maxWidth and maxHeight this change is required. Without this either maxWidth or maxHeight become a minimum for that dimension instead of a maximum.

  if ($this->maxWidth > 0)

  if ($this->maxWidth > 0 && $width > $this->maxWidth)

  Same goes for the height.

  Is it possible to use the CLASS directly instead of passing parameters into a PHP page.

  You can always use the save function then show them inline. The reason you can’t use show directly is because it needs to send headers with the image data… and if you’ve already output headers on your page, you’ll get nasty errors

  Thanks Ian, I see the reason now and you are right, I tested it around and I got a nasty errors if I “force” it to do so.

  I also have a new idea to do it via using the class Directly.
  Step 1: Use the CLASS (you created) directly and Save the files to a “Images” folder
  Step 2: Use the IMG TAG to have a reference linkage to this folder such as

  I believe it works. However, if I keep doing this, my webserver loading will be a lot since everytime it runs “save function”, I am thinking if it is possible to have a “cache” folder or any other detection to avoid “genereate” the same images, if so, do you know how?

  My webpage contains 15 to 20 thumbnail images in a page. I wish to have a COOL way to accomplish this task…~

  The class itself doesn’t have any caching built in (next version might, however), but it shouldn’t be too hard for you to write your own. Just check for the existence of a file on your system (by some naming convention), and use it if it exists, otherwise generate the thumb.

  You could also write a script to “prime” that cache as well, to help offload some of the processing when a user views the page.

  Does anyone else notice that when you upload an image smaller than the resize dimensions you set, it stretches the image to the full size. If you upload a smaller image, it gets really pixelated and looks like crap.

  If the image is smaller than the resize dimensions, shouldn’t it just leave it alone? Since the dimensions you pass in are to keep the uploaded image within those dimensions, not to resize the image to them.

  When I look at the activity log for ’show_image.php’ it says “Internal Server Error”

  Any ideas? I’ve not modified anythinh, ttried both Php4 and 5 versions (My server is running PHP 5)

  I’ve been banging my head against the screen for the last umpteen hours and I think I may have found a bug! Definately a problem!!

  Is there any specific reason why $thumb->rotateImage(’CW’) produces an error UNLESS it’s preceeded by another function?

  $thumb = new Thumbnail($_GET['filename']);
  $thumb->rotateImage(’CCW’);
  $thumb->show();
  $thumb->destruct();

  produces the following error:
  [Wed Feb 11 17:54:53 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Warning: imagerotate() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given in C:\\tricky_dicky\\thumbnail.inc.php on line 667, referer: http://tricky_dicky/
  [Wed Feb 11 17:54:53 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Warning: imagejpeg(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in C:\\tricky_dicky\\thumbnail.inc.php on line 486, referer: http://tricky_dicky/

  Whereas
  $thumb = new Thumbnail($_GET['filename']);
  $thumb->resize(250,250);
  $thumb->rotateImage(’CCW’);
  $thumb->show();
  $thumb->destruct();

  performs fine!

  I’m running Apache/2.0.59 (Win32) PHP/5.2.5 (although my host uses PHPv4 – hense I’m using php4_thumbnail_v2 class).

  Would love to hear comments about this.
  Thanks.

  Hi Ian!

  i really love this class! but you should check out this little codetweak:

  I often use your class but got several errors because my userfileuploads. Sometimes the extensions .gif were in fact jpgs and vice versa.

  In your class you decide what to do by looking at the file ext. That probably works most of the time, but I got some nasty errors because of it .

  So i modified at line 130-> your code

  to this:
  $type = getimagesize(strtolower($this->fileName));

  if(stristr($type['mime'],’jpeg’)) $this->format = ‘JPG’;

  elseif(stristr($type['mime'],’gif’)) $this->format = ‘GIF’;

  elseif(stristr($type['mime'],’png’)) $this->format = ‘PNG’;

  this provides that you can really be sure, that the right method is used for the right imagetype.

  Hope this helps

  I needed to made indipendent image type recognization from the extension:

  if ( $this->error == false )
  {

  list($orig_x, $orig_y, $orig_img_type, $img_sizes) = GetImageSize($this->fileName);

  if ( $orig_img_type == 1 )
  $this->format = ‘GIF’;
  elseif ( $orig_img_type == 2 )
  $this->format = ‘JPG’;
  elseif ( $orig_img_type == 3 )
  $this->format = ‘PNG’;
  else
  {
  $this->errmsg = ‘Unknown file format’;
  $this->error = true;
  }
  }

  You validate you filetype via file’s extensions. It’s wrong.
  Don’t use this code:
  if(stristr(strtolower($this->fileName),’.gif’)) $this->format = ‘GIF’;
  //check if jpg
  elseif(stristr(strtolower($this->fileName),’.jpg’) || stristr(strtolower($this->fileName),’.jpeg’)) $this->format = ‘JPG’;
  //check if png
  elseif(stristr(strtolower($this->fileName),’.png’)) $this->format = ‘PNG’;
  //unknown file format
  else {
  $this->errmsg = ‘Unknown file format’;
  $this->error = true;
  }

  Use next :
  $imgSizeType = getimagesize($this->fileName);

  if(isset($imgSizeType[2]) && $imgSizeType[2] == 1){
  $this->format = ‘GIF’;
  } elseif(isset($imgSizeType[2]) && $imgSizeType[2] == 2){
  $this->format = ‘JPG’;
  } elseif(isset($imgSizeType[2]) && $imgSizeType[2] == 3){
  $this->format = ‘PNG’;
  } else {
  $this->errmsg = ‘Unknown file format’;
  $this->error = true;
  }

  When you send your file via form, your source file has extension like “.tmp” , that’s why you must change that place in the code.

  You’re right that I shouldn’t be checking by extension (a bug that I’ve been meaning to fix for a while), however, you’re wrong about the .tmp part. Even if you use this in conjunction with an uploaded file, you would never want to use the class to manipulate your images until you’ve actually saved the uploaded file on the filesystem somewhere. That way you can do other things with it if needed (make sure the filename’s unique, possibly even virus scan it, etc.)

  Thanks for the tip tho, I’m definitely going to remove that code in the upcoming version of the class.

  resize function..

  if($this->currentDimensions['width'] > $maxWidth && $this->currentDimensions['height'] > $maxHeight) {

  $this->maxWidth = $maxWidth;
  $this->maxHeight = $maxHeight;

  }else{
  $this->maxWidth = $this->currentDimensions['width'];
  $this->maxHeight = $this->currentDimensions['height'];
  }

  or

  if($this->currentDimensions['width'] > $maxWidth && $this->currentDimensions['height'] > $maxHeight) {
  $this->calcImageSize($this->currentDimensions['width'],$this->currentDimensions['height']);
  }else{
  $this->newDimensions['newWidth'] = $this->currentDimensions['width'];
  $this->newDimensions['newHeight'] = $this->currentDimensions['height'];

  1) When I try to resize an animated GIF, the result shows only the first frame. How can I get it to keep the animation?

  Any work-around to solve this? Thanks!

  Thanks for this class, very useful!

  Quick function for setting the format of the output image – useful if you want to use e.g. a naming convention to keep track of images:

  /**
  * sets format of output image by setting $this->format
  *
  * @param string $format
  */
  public function setFormat($format)
  {
  $format=strtoupper($format);
  $allowedFormats=array(’JPG’,'GIF’,'PNG’);
  if(array_search($format,$allowedFormats))
  {
  $this->format=$format;
  }
  else
  {
  $this->errmsg = ‘Unknown file format’;
  $this->error = true;
  }
  }

  Finally, after trying many solutions to get rid of black background in GIFs in vain.
  This is it :

  in function RESIZE
  before IMAGECOPYRESAMPLED function

  if( $this->format == ‘PNG’ || $this->format == ‘GIF’) {
  imagealphablending($this->workingImage, false);
  $colorTransparent = imagecolorallocatealpha($this->workingImage, 255, 255, 255, 0);
  imagefill($this->workingImage, 0, 0, $colorTransparent);
  imagesavealpha($this->workingImage, true);
  }
  if ( $this->format == ‘GIF’){
  imagetruecolortopalette($this->workingImage, true, 256);
  }

  When resizing it would be nice if you could specify a fixed width and height instead of a max. The the image should be resized and cropped to meet the fixed dimensions. Now thumbnails will have a different sizes…

  Hi!

  I’m getting the “File not found” error message when trying to upload som files. Why do I get this error message? I mean, the files are clearly on my computer. Does it have anything to do with the image file size?

  I would really appreciate if anyone could help me out on this one!

  Source looks good with a quick glance.

  You should most definitely make next version use imagemagick if available.

  I’ve done some testing with GD and IM, and IM just produces a lot higher quality images in less filesize. GD sometimes makes a big mess with some type of JPEGs.

  Please, add IM support!

  I am getting the same error as Gesen.. It won’t process large images (3MB) so I reduced the size to 600K, it works on my local machine but not when I upload it on a hosted server. Is there any limit on file size or anything that might obstruct processing large images. Otherwise it is really great idea, thanks for that.

  is this script command base on imagecopyresampled ? i used this command before for my site and cause me alot of cpu usage problem when there’s spike traffic. i also use imagedestroy after i run the script but that don’t solved my cpu problem.

  my vps have 512 mem and 150Mhz (quad core Q6600 – equal to single core 600mhz Q6600) and every i got spike my website run very slow but never out of memory.

  my site is a gallery site with +/-200.000 files and create 50 thumbnail for every display page. and i got approx 30k pageview every day.

  is your script have more efficient technique so it can reduce cpu usage?

  Thank you Ian.

  I think this is the best script out there. I had to use the “ini_set(’memory_limit’,'45M’);” to be able to handle resizing photos of about 2.5MB in size. But over all I love the script!

  You have a spelling error in the API section under the resize function. It says “Resizes the image to be now wider than maxWidth”. I think its suppose to be “no wider than maxWidth”. Thanks for the class.

  Hi, thanks for the code, below are three functions to create a centred, square thumbnail. Hope they are of interest.

  //////////
  public function getAspect(){
  if ($this->currentDimensions['width'] > $this->currentDimensions['height']){
  $this->aspect = “LS”;
  } else if ($this->currentDimensions['height'] > $this->currentDimensions['width']){
  $this->aspect = “PT”;
  } else {
  $this->aspect = “SQ”;
  }
  return $this->aspect;
  }
  //////////
  ///works out the percentage reduction to make sure image fits square
  public function getMinSize($size){
  //
  $ta = $this->getAspect();
  ///
  if ($ta == “LS”){
  $p = ($size/$this->currentDimensions['height'])*100;
  } else if ($ta == “PT” || $ta == “SQ”){
  $p = ($size/$this->currentDimensions['width'])*100;
  }
  //
  return $p;
  }
  //////////
  ///wrapper for aspect and minsize
  public function squareThumb($size){
  $this->resizePercent($this->getMinSize($size));
  $this->cropFromCenter($size);

  Hi – please change private properties / methods to protected, subclassing is a real pain otherwise!

  Also, is there any mileage in improving the error handling? Displaying an image is not always the correct thing to do, for instance when running this in a script or as a small part of a larger application.

  I would think that throwing an exception with a custom exception class would be more appropriate. You could then choose the Exception handler based on a (protected!) property, and have an exception class to display an error image, and another to do something more traditional, as required. I’m happy to write this code & provide some tests if you’re interested in it, let me know.

  Cheers,
  Mark

  The next versrion of the library (soon to be released when I finish up the docs) addresses all those issues. Everything throws exceptions now, and error handling is more robust.

  Is their a size limit for the images being used, because it seems that if I use an image over 1200 px by 1200 px or so, the script just dies. Any thoughts?
