Big images upload and manipulating

[petersJazz]

hi,

refering to thread434-1484443

still havent fixed this on the site

http://www.cmsone.se/test1.

Does anyone know of some custom php code for loading into memory just a part of an jpg file?

Hi

I would try an alternative image manipulation library, for example Imagick ( or other ImageMagick API ).

This means to completely rewrite the image manipulation part. And there is no guaranty that the alternative library can and will efficiently do swapping to temporary file.

hi,

i tried this:

<?
$thumb = new Imagick();
$thumb->readImage('test.gif');
$thumb->writeImage('test.jpg');
$thumb->clear();
$thumb->destroy();
?>

and got:

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: imagick in /hsphere/local/home/petersja/cmsone.se/test1/php/apa.php on line 2

so I guess this class is not installed on the web hotell Im using.

Hi

Yep, looks like the package is not installed.

And that was my only idea... :-(
