Crop Image from Php

Anon

Does anybody knows how can i crop some image with PHP script?

I have a to put some images of one size in some internal pages of my web site and the same image in my home page, but i want to do it automatically (the images are smaller than te rest of the site). So what i awant to do is to selct the image and if i want to put that image also in my homepage, crop image,to weigth a little bit more, and paste it in my Hompage.

Hi,

I think I follow what you want to do. I have to say I think that for the overhead, you might as well just resize and upload .... but still, here's what I think you could try (assuming GIF files):

First I assume $new_w and $new_h contain the width and height of the image after it is resized.

<?
$bgim = imagecreatefromgif("/path/to/image"); // This is the image to be resized
$smim = imagecreate($new_w,$new_h); // This is a memory allocation for the new image

$old_w = imagesx($bgim); // Get the source image's width
$old_h = imagesy($bgim); // Get the source image's height

imagecopyresized ($smim, $bgim, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_w, $new_h, $old_w, $old_h); // Copy the source image file into the new image memory and resize

imagegif($smim); // Output the new smaller image
?>

NOTE: I have not tested this! You need the GD image library for it to work. Check http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php to read more about how to do that.

All the best,
