copy, resize, move image with php

Question

I'm looking to copy, resize, and move an image. This is simular to how wordpress creates different sizes of the images when you upload. I want this to be executable without uploading anything just running when you run the page.

example:

$imagePath = 'http://example.com/images/myimageonserver.jpg';
$newImagePath = 'http://example.com/images/new/myimageonserver.jpg';
$newImageWidth = 300;
$newImageHeight = 200;

Does anyone know a script that will do this? Or some useful functions that can get this done.

Solution 1

I wrote this Class a while ago to wrap the GD library functions.

You can call it like:

$image = new Image('original/path/to.file', 'destination/of/resized.file');
$image->resize(300, 200);
$image->output();
$image->clean();

update:

This class no longer functions as explained above.
Here is a new example:

$image = new Image();
$image->source('original/path/to.file');
$image->destination('destination/of/resized.file');
$image->Manipulate->Resize(300,200);
$image->output();
$image->clean();

Have you tried the GD library? Very powerful.

Solution 3

Use the GD Lib or ImageMagick. With ImageMagick it is the resizeImage function.
