The Host Installed Gd :)

dv6cougar

ok from those who remember, i was asking about Perl and PHP integration a few days ago becuase my host had not installed PHP GD, well he fixed it 😃

so now i'm writing some thumbnailing scripts and they are working 🙂

now my problem is

<?php


$filename = "8ball.jpg";
$imageInfo = getimagesize($filename); 

$imagew = $imageInfo[0]; 
$imageh = $imageInfo[1]; 
$new_w= "300"; 
$new_h= "37"; 
$img_src ="8ball.jpg";
$dst_img = "/test/8ball.jpg";
$dst_img=ImageCreate($new_w,$new_h); 

$src_img=ImageCreateFromJpeg("./8ball.jpg"); 

ImageCopyResized($dst_img,$src_img,0,0,0,0,$new_w,$new_h,ImageSX($src_img),ImageSY($src_img)); 

ImageJpeg($dst_img, '', 100); 
?>
<html>
<body>
<br><a href="8ball.jpg">Fullsize</a>
</body>
</html>

unless i throw an error in the above script, my html doesn't show up? so the link doesn't show up on the page, as you can see here
http://www.tunercarz.com/images/athumb.php

and i would like to use this instead, and i'm having no luck

$imagew = $imageInfo[0]; 
$imageh = $imageInfo[1]; 
$new_w= "$imagew/2"; 
$new_h= "$imageh/2";

now i'm sure that my mistake above is somethign dumb, but the original image size is 600x74 so the values should be as i put above 300x37.

anyone know what's going on with the html?

and how do i divide in php? (i made a seperate script and printed out my $new_w and $new_h and they came up

600/2

and

74/2)

Thanks alot 🙂

solved my second problem 😃

$imagew = $imageInfo[0]; 
$imageh = $imageInfo[1]; 
$new_w = ($imagew / 2); 
$new_h = ($imageh / 2);

now how about that html not working 😕

welcome to GD! the generated images always look shit, use png sometimes they come out better

hmm i'll try that out.... a have seen sites where the images look fine though?

😕 and i know they use GD they told me they do, however, i do think we have ImageMagick installed too, does that work better?

😃

freakonaleash

yea imagemagick has been known to have better results

dv6cougar

ok, well thanks!

anyone know about my problem with html?

:mad:

freakonaleash

coz u have no head tags

<html>
<head>
<title> 8 Ball </title>
</head>
<body>
<br><a href="8ball.jpg">Fullsize</a>
</body>
</html>

No, that's not the problem. <head> tags will not cause a page to load or, in this case, not load. In fact, <head> tags are ignored by most browsers, and just used for organization.

Try echoing after your imagejpeg(), it might be exiting the script after this call.

thanks, will try that 🙂
