Photo Resize issue need help!

Hi Olaf,

Do you have to use an application such as GD Library or ImageMajik to resize your photos?

I'm having trouble with this- I can upload a photo but I can't make it resize. If there is anywhere that has a tutorial for using these apps or a thread I might have overlooked- please help!

I'm trying to get any image uploaded to resize to 360 x 270 pixels in landscape format.

Thanks in advance!

yes one of them

Which one is easier? (I'm not an expert in PHP or coding)

Actually, I think GD Library is what I need to use for my server. Where can I find information on setting this up to work with Easy Upload??

I'm currently searching for this information but if you know of a good link that has documentation on setting this up for use with Easy Upload, PLEASE let me know!

GD should be easier, but also have in mind that imagemajik is much better.

Anyway for GD you can use a class like this :

Code:

<?php
class image{
    var $image = "";
    var $newimage = "";
    var $image_quality = 80;
    var $addborder = 0;
    var $max_height = 200;
    var $max_width = 300;
    
    // Main code
    function resize(){
        $src_img = ImageCreateFromJpeg($this->image);
        $orig_x = ImageSX($src_img);
        $orig_y = ImageSY($src_img);
        
        $new_y = $this->max_height;
        $new_x = $orig_x/($orig_y/$this->max_height);  
        
        if ($new_x > $this->max_width) {
            $new_x = $this->max_width;
            $new_y = $orig_y/($orig_x/$this->max_width);
        }
        
        $dst_img = ImageCreateTrueColor($new_x,$new_y);
        ImageCopyResampled($dst_img, $src_img, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_x, $new_y, $orig_x, $orig_y);
        
        if ($this->addborder == 1) {
            // Add border
            $black = ImageColorAllocate($dst_img, 0, 0, 0);
            ImageSetThickness($dst_img, 1);
            ImageLine($dst_img, 0, 0, $new_x, 0, $black);
            ImageLine($dst_img, 0, 0, 0, $new_y, $black);
            ImageLine($dst_img, $new_x-1, 0, $new_x-1, $new_y, $black);
            ImageLine($dst_img, 0, $new_y-1, $new_x, $new_y-1, $black);
        }
            
        ImageJpeg($dst_img, $this->newimage, $this->image_quality);
        ImageDestroy($src_img);
        ImageDestroy($dst_img);
    }
}
?>

do you tried the photo upload extension? there is a resize function included

I'm going to try that right now...

If this works, where do I donate!!!!!!

Ok something is NOT getting processed...And it's not giving me any error codes.

I'm not 100% sure about this line-

Code:

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['/PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

This might be where the error is coming from. (Still testing)

replace

$_SERVER['/PHP_SELF'];?>

to this :

$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>

GREAT!! Ok ok....last question,

I'm using foto_upload.php and of course the upload_class.php files to get this going...
How can I make this write and over-write using the name "image1" ??

In other words, I want whatever image that gets uploaded to be renamed to "image1" and resized to 370 x 260.
(I'm currently getting CHMOD errors but that's not a big deal, I can fix that....)

Code:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/home/finchers/public_html/dynamic/1175716232.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/finchers/public_html/admin/upload_class.php on line 130

Frustration...you just have to love it! This is killing me.

This is not a problem of the script, but of the php configuration. Contact your host and send them the first line of the error

Ok...So I'm assuming the GD Library isn't on the server? (I'm using Ipower.com for my hosting). Tech support said GD Library is installed. But then again, I'm not 100% confident in THEIR tech support.

(talking to them now)

No this is not about GD. It looks like a permission problem. For some reason apache is not capable of read/write in the tmp folder.

Is there something that can be done to fix this???

Thank you SO much for your help BTW....

[/home/finchers/public_html/dynamic/]

Try this :

ini_set('upload_tmp_dir', '/tmp');?>

If you have access to the directory /home/finchers/public_html/dynamic/ make sure to CHMOD it before trying this (chmod 755 will work)

I remember me that there are some really bad configured servers.

try also a chmod value of 0777 you can change this value in the upload class file (if needed)

but I think your upload directories should be enough

And Darren thanks for the donation (I thinkI  should give some bucks to you Nick because of all your help )

No that's not necessary. You already done enough for me

[/home/finchers/public_html/dynamic/]

Try this :

ini_set('upload_tmp_dir', '/tmp');?>

If you have access to the directory /home/finchers/public_html/dynamic/ make sure to CHMOD it before trying this (chmod 755 will work)

I'm trying to find the code that contains this line...

Which file and line number does it get placed or replaced in?

I'm assuming the upload_class.php, right??

And Darren thanks for the donation (I thinkI  should give some bucks to you Nick because of all your help )

NOO!!! I was planning on donating to him also!! (This is VERY important to me right now....)
