Resize an existing image on my server

[markhkram]

I have a bunch of images on my server that I'd like to write a php file that will grab the existing file in a directory, and scale it down to thumbnail size, and place the new file in the same directory under a different name.

So basically make the existing /folder/1.jpg (which is 640x480) into /folder/1small.jpg (which I need to have thumbnail sized). And still retain both files...

Thanks!

Have you looked at the imagecopyresized() function?

http://php.net/manual/en/function.imagecopyresized.php

Example is there if you scroll down.

I tried that, but couldn't get it to work on already existing images... :S

Could you tell us what if any errors you received?

Why id didn't work for you?

Some more info n your part can help us help you.

BTW if you don't need the image displayed onto the screen, you can remove the header part.

This should work:

<?php
// File and new size
$filename = 'images/portal.jpg';
$newfilename="images/pthumb.jpg";
$percent = 0.2;


// Content type


// Get new sizes
list($width, $height) = getimagesize($filename);
$newwidth = $width * $percent;
$newheight = $height * $percent;

// Load
$thumb = imagecreatetruecolor($newwidth, $newheight);

$source = imagecreatefromjpeg($filename);

// Resize
$res=imagecopyresized($thumb, $source, 0, 0, 0, 0, $newwidth, $newheight, $width, $height);

// Output
imagejpeg($thumb,$newfilename);


?>
