Image Sizing

[neroag]

Hi All

I have a routine that pulls an image from a database & displays it in

print $image;

all works great however...

Is there a way that i can set the size params of the image as when i set width & height is just returns a load of chars instead of the image itself

Thanx all

Hi,

just so you know, storing images in the database isn't a good idea, ... instead store just path to the image on the server... then you can use the "getimagesize()" function to get the dimensions

Thanks Moharo

Thats usually what i would do and have all images in the filesystem, however on this occasion i cant, i either need to resize images before uploading to database or resize them on output 😕

Well, you could get the image data from the SQL server, use [man]imagecreatefromstring/man to create an image resource, and then use something like [man]imagecopyresampled/man to do your resizing.
