Resizing, and Displaying image from file...

Anon

OK the image is already uploaded on the server, how do I resize and display in an html table? I've tried a few things but to no avail. For instance fpassthru($pic); displayed a lot of nice binary?? but no image? Any code snippets would really be appreciated as i'm well past my own deadline on this!

Your problem is easily solved :-)

I have a similar application that streams objects from a database to the browser via php3... Have a graphic.php3 file that streams your gif data from the source file but place a line like:

header("Content-Type: $mimeType");

before the file is output (should be the first thing you send to the browser). This tells the browser 'it's a gif' and it will then be handled correctly!

Kind Regards

P.S. The mime type for gif is image/gif (you can specify other file types)

OK, that works! But, what about resizing the image? I know it can be done but I keep getting an error, no jpeg support? Is this because the GD was not compiled in with jpeg support? I sure hope not...my host sux enough as it is!

The easiest thing is to set the width and height using the HTML tags... I am no expert at the image manipulation stuff within php3/4 though, sorry!

Yeah, thats what I've been doing. The only problem with that is loading time for those pages. Although the pages appear smaller they still load as if they were full size 🙁.

At any rate I've been fighting with my web host and finally convinced them to compile the image manipulation into their php build. If you're interested, email me in two weeks and I'll tell you what I did to resize the jpg's.

Thanks for your help,
Marcel.
