This is a wrapper class for the GD Library in PHP. You can use this to manipulate images. Please note that you must have GD installed in the server for this class to work as advertised.

Download the code - and rename to Image.php

Image Class API Documentation

A Wrapper for GD library in PHP. GD must be installed in your system for this to work.

Example

$img = new Image('wheel.png');

    $this->image = $imgdest;
    return $this;
}

Image::resize( $new_width, $new_height[, $use_resize = true ] )

Resize the image to an new size. Size can be specified in the arugments. Agruments :$new_width - The width of the desired image. If 0, the function will automatically calculate the width using the height ratio.
$new_width - The width of the desired image. If 0, the function will automatically calculate the value using the width ratio.
$use_resize- If true, the function uses imagecopyresized() function instead of imagecopyresampled().
Resize is faster but poduces poorer quality image. Resample on the other hand is slower - but makes better images.

Arguments

$new_width: The New Width
$new_height: The New Height
$use_resize: The Use Resize
Optional Argument - if the argument is not provided, the function will use 'true' as the default value.

Example

$img -> resize(60, 0, false); // Better quality image created using width ratio
$img -> resize(120, 300);

Code

// File data/89f7c_Image.php, Line 233
function resize($new_width,$new_height, $use_resize = true) {
    if(!$this->image) return false;
    if(!$new_height and !$new_width) return false; //Both width and height is 0
    
    $height = $this->height;
    $width  = $this->width;
    
    //If the width or height is give as 0, find the correct ratio using the other value
    if(!$new_height and $new_width) $new_height = $height * $new_width / $width; //Get the new height in the correct ratio
    if($new_height and !$new_width) $new_width  = $width  * $new_height/ $height;//Get the new width in the correct ratio

    //Create the image
    $new_image = imagecreatetruecolor($new_width,$new_height);
    imagealphablending($new_image, false);
    if($use_resize) imagecopyresized($new_image, $this->image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_width, $new_height, $width, $height);
    else imagecopyresampled($new_image, $this->image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_width, $new_height, $width, $height);
    
    $this->image = $new_image;
    return $this;
}

Image::crop( $from_x, $from_y, $to_x, $to_y )

Crops the given image from the ($from_x,$from_y) point to the ($to_x,$to_y) point. Agruments :$from_x - X coordinate from where the crop should start
$from_y - Y coordinate from where the crop should start
$to_x - X coordinate from where the crop should end
$to_y - Y coordinate from where the crop should end

Arguments

$from_x: The From X
$from_y: The From Y
$to_x: The To X
$to_y: The To Y

Example

    $width  = $this->width;

    $new_width  = $to_x - $from_x;
    $new_height = $to_y - $from_y;
    //Create the image
    $new_image = imagecreatetruecolor($new_width, $new_height);
    imagealphablending($new_image, false);
    imagecopy($new_image, $this->image, 0,0, $from_x,$from_y, $new_width, $new_height);
    $this->image = $new_image;

    header("Content-type: ".$this->info['mime']);
    switch($this->info['mime']) {
        case 'image/png' : imagepng($this->image); break;
