[Resolved] Image resize.

Dolemite50

Hello,
I have a site that allows image uploads and displayes them with a max width of 300. Like so:

echo '<img src="bandpics/' . $image . '" width="208" >';

This works great and seems to set the portions right if the original pic size is >= 208. But if somebody uploads a pic <= 208, it has to stretch the image and doesnt look good. How can I alter the above code to not resize the image if it is <=208?

Thanks for any help.

Have a look at imagecopyresampled() http://www.php.net/imagecopyresampled
Pay particular attention to the user comments. Should solve your problem.

Thanks alot Rachael.
Im afraid that link was a little over my head. Ive noticed that the regular html tag width="208" does a great job of resizing the image if it is over 208. Is there a way that I can just find the width of the pic, and then if it is <=208, just not echo the "width="208" tag? Will it do the job of not resizing it if I dont define the width?
That seems like it would work but I just need to find out how to get the width of the pic.
Thanks again.

Installer

getimagesize()

edit: Works on jpeg, gif, etc. files, while "imagesx()" works on GD images.
