Crop image in PHP

by

If you are trying to generate thumbnails, you must first resize the image using imagecopyresampled();. You must resize the image so that the size of the smaller side of the image is equal to the corresponding side of the thumb.

For example, if your source image is 1280x800px and your thumb is 200x150px, you must resize your image to 240x150px and then crop it to 200x150px. This is so that the aspect ratio of the image won’t change.

Here’s a general formula for creating thumbnails:

$image = imagecreatefromjpeg($_GET['src']);
$filename="images/cropped_whatever.jpg";

$thumb_width = 200;
$thumb_height = 150;

$width = imagesx($image);
$height = imagesy($image);

$original_aspect = $width / $height;
$thumb_aspect = $thumb_width / $thumb_height;

if ( $original_aspect >= $thumb_aspect )
{
   // If image is wider than thumbnail (in aspect ratio sense)
   $new_height = $thumb_height;
   $new_width = $width / ($height / $thumb_height);
}
else
{
   // If the thumbnail is wider than the image
   $new_width = $thumb_width;
   $new_height = $height / ($width / $thumb_width);
}

$thumb = imagecreatetruecolor( $thumb_width, $thumb_height );

// Resize and crop
imagecopyresampled($thumb,
                   $image,
                   0 - ($new_width - $thumb_width) / 2, // Center the image horizontally
                   0 - ($new_height - $thumb_height) / 2, // Center the image vertically
                   0, 0,
                   $new_width, $new_height,
                   $width, $height);
imagejpeg($thumb, $filename, 80);

Haven’t tested this but it should work.

EDIT

Now tested and working.
