i use imageMagick: <?php $image_path = "../images/myimage.jpg"; //path to the image from my script $thumb_path = "../thumbnails/mymage.jpg"; //path to where i want the thumbnail to be created $width = 100; //greatest allowed width for my thumbnails $height = 100; //greatest allowed height for my thumbnails //make the thumbnail //imageMagick will automatically adjust for aspect ratio with this command line //however, if you want to force a thumbnail to the preset dimensions, //put an exclamation point after $height //http://www.imagemagick.org/Magick++/Geometry.html $command_line = "convert -geometry $width" . "x" . "$height $image_path $thumb_path"; system($command_line, $return_var); if ($return_var == 1) { echo "Thumbnail creation failed! :("; } else { echo "Thumbnail created. :) <a href='$thumb_path' target='_blank'>View Thumbnail FFS</a>"; } ?> if you run into problems, and assuming imageMagick was successfully installed: - make sure you have write permission for where you want the thumbnail to be created - try replacing convert with the full path to the convert app. e.g. $command_line = "/usr/bin/convert -geometry ....etc"; - run the script from the command line. ssh in to your script's directory and try typing this: php thumbscript.php you'll see verbose messages to help you pinpoint the problem. depending on your setup, you might have to put in the full path to php - if you're still stuck, try putting in this line: <?php ini_set("display_errors","1"); information like this would have saved me hours of my life On Sun, Dec 21, 2008 at 3:54 AM, Kevin Waterson <kevin@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > This one time, at band camp, Stephen Alistoun <stephenalistoun@xxxxxxxxx> > wrote: > > > > I want all the images to resize to 100px width but the height adjusts > > automatically. > > > Two ways, GD or Imagick > > http://www.phpro.org/examples/GD-Thumbnail-Based-On-Image-Type.html > > http://www.phpro.org/tutorials/Imagick.html#4 > > Kevin > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- Crunchmutt Studios Latest News Headlines: http://www.rssvideonews.com http://www.imagepoop.com http://www.crunchmutt.com http://www.deadjoe.com http://www.dailymedication.com http://www.extremesportclips.com http://www.coolanimalclips.com http://www.robotclips.com http://www.newsfinger.com http://www.postyourimage.com http://www.nakedalarmclock.com
