MP4 Video Thumbnail create using php GD

Question

I am using GD image library to upload videos but I can not create any thumbnail, is there any way to create mp4 video file thumbnail using php gb image library?

this is my code; is it possible to entegrate ffmpeg ?

<?php
if(isset($_POST))
{

############ Edit settings ##############
$ThumbSquareSize        = 400; //Thumbnail will be 200x200
$ThumbPrefix            = "thumb_"; //Normal thumb Prefix
$DestinationDirectory   = 'uploads/'; //specify upload directory ends with / (slash)
$Quality                = 90; //jpeg quality

//check if this is an ajax request
if (!isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH'])){
    die();

// check $_FILES['ImageFile'] not empty
if(!isset($_FILES['ImageFile']) || !is_uploaded_file($_FILES['ImageFile']['tmp_name']))
{
        die('Something wrong with uploaded file, something missing!'); // output error when above checks fail.
}

// Random number will be added after image name
$RandomNumber   = rand(0, 9999999999); 

$ImageName      = str_replace(' ','-',strtolower($_FILES['ImageFile']['name'])); //get image name
$ImageSize      = $_FILES['ImageFile']['size']; // get original image size
$TempSrc        = $_FILES['ImageFile']['tmp_name']; // Temp name of image file stored in PHP tmp folder
$ImageType      = $_FILES['ImageFile']['type']; //get file type, returns "image/png", image/jpeg, text/plain etc.

//Let's check allowed $ImageType, we use PHP SWITCH statement here
switch(strtolower($ImageType))
{
    case 'video/mp4':
        break;

//PHP getimagesize() function returns height/width from image file stored in PHP tmp folder.
//Get first two values from image, width and height.

//Get file extension from Image name, this will be added after random name

Solution 1

No you can't do this using GD.

Take a look into the Documentation

http://php.net/manual/de/book.image.php

You have only the following imagecreatefrom* functions:

imagecreatefromgd2
imagecreatefromgd2part
imagecreatefromgd
imagecreatefromgif
imagecreatefromjpeg
imagecreatefrompng
imagecreatefromstring
imagecreatefromwbmp
imagecreatefromwebp
imagecreatefromxbm
imagecreatefromxpm

There Is no video format. So no, it is not possible.

Take a look at FFMpeg and consider this library:

FFMpeg: https://www.ffmpeg.org/

PHP Library: https://github.com/PHP-FFMpeg/PHP-FFMpeg/

Sure it is not installed in most of shared environments, but if you take a look into the contract of this, you will see, that video hosting is disallowed.

Sure there are other Possibility, but i can't imagine a PHP only way.

Solution 2

Use this simple code:

$video_path = 'D:\xampp\htdocs/test.mp4';
$video_image_dir = 'D:\xampp\htdocs/';
$video_name = 'teat.mp4';
$time_in_seconds = round(1 / 2); 
exec("ffmpeg -vframes 1 -ss " . $time_in_seconds . " -i " . $video_path . " " . $video_image_dir . $video_name . ".jpg -y 2> " . $video_image_dir . $video_name . ".txt");

Solution 3

yes it is possible using ffmpeg.

• install ffmpeg in your server.
• check below example code.

extension_loaded('ffmpeg') or die('Error in loading ffmpeg');

// $vid = realpath('./video/Wildlife.wmv');

$video_url = 'http://download.wavetlan.com/SVV/Media/HTTP/H264/Talkinghead_Media/H264_test1_Talkinghead_mp4_480x360.mp4';

$image_filename = 'images/' . time() . ".jpg";

$movie = new ffmpeg_movie($video_url, false);

$frameCount = $movie->getFrameCount();

$capPos = ceil($frameCount / 4);

$frameObject = $movie->getFrame($capPos);

if ($frameObject) {

    $frameObject->resize(500, 250, 0, 0, 0, 0);

    imagejpeg($frameObject->toGDImage());

} else {

    echo 'error';

}

using ffmpeg is clever :-)
