Creating a thumbnail from an uploaded image

by

UPDATE:

If you want to take advantage of Imagick (if it is installed on your server). Note: I didn’t use Imagick’s nature writeFile because I was having issues with it on my server. File put contents works just as well.

<?php
/**
 * 
 * Generate Thumbnail using Imagick class
 *  
 * @param string $img
 * @param string $width
 * @param string $height
 * @param int $quality
 * @return boolean on true
 * @throws Exception
 * @throws ImagickException
 */
function generateThumbnail($img, $width, $height, $quality = 90)
{
    if (is_file($img)) {
        $imagick = new Imagick(realpath($img));
        $imagick->setImageFormat('jpeg');
        $imagick->setImageCompression(Imagick::COMPRESSION_JPEG);
        $imagick->setImageCompressionQuality($quality);
        $imagick->thumbnailImage($width, $height, false, false);
        $filename_no_ext = reset(explode('.', $img));
        if (file_put_contents($filename_no_ext . '_thumb' . '.jpg', $imagick) === false) {
            throw new Exception("Could not put contents.");
        }
        return true;
    }
    else {
        throw new Exception("No valid image provided with {$img}.");
    }
}

// example usage
try {
    generateThumbnail('test.jpg', 100, 50, 65);
}
catch (ImagickException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}
catch (Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}
?>

I have been using this, just execute the function after you store the original image and use that location to create the thumbnail. Edit it to your liking… 

function makeThumbnails($updir, $img, $id)
{
    $thumbnail_width = 134;
    $thumbnail_height = 189;
    $thumb_beforeword = "thumb";
    $arr_image_details = getimagesize("$updir" . $id . '_' . "$img"); // pass id to thumb name
    $original_width = $arr_image_details[0];
    $original_height = $arr_image_details[1];
    if ($original_width > $original_height) {
        $new_width = $thumbnail_width;
        $new_height = intval($original_height * $new_width / $original_width);
    } else {
        $new_height = $thumbnail_height;
        $new_width = intval($original_width * $new_height / $original_height);
    }
    $dest_x = intval(($thumbnail_width - $new_width) / 2);
    $dest_y = intval(($thumbnail_height - $new_height) / 2);
    if ($arr_image_details[2] == IMAGETYPE_GIF) {
        $imgt = "ImageGIF";
        $imgcreatefrom = "ImageCreateFromGIF";
    }
    if ($arr_image_details[2] == IMAGETYPE_JPEG) {
        $imgt = "ImageJPEG";
        $imgcreatefrom = "ImageCreateFromJPEG";
    }
    if ($arr_image_details[2] == IMAGETYPE_PNG) {
        $imgt = "ImagePNG";
        $imgcreatefrom = "ImageCreateFromPNG";
    }
    if ($imgt) {
        $old_image = $imgcreatefrom("$updir" . $id . '_' . "$img");
        $new_image = imagecreatetruecolor($thumbnail_width, $thumbnail_height);
        imagecopyresized($new_image, $old_image, $dest_x, $dest_y, 0, 0, $new_width, $new_height, $original_width, $original_height);
        $imgt($new_image, "$updir" . $id . '_' . "$thumb_beforeword" . "$img");
    }
}

The above function creates images with a uniform thumbnail size. If the image doesn’t have the same dimensions as the specified thumbnail size (proportionally), it just has blackspace on the top and bottom.
