note 52239 added to function.imagecopyresized

If you read your Imagedata from a Database Blob and use the functions from above to resize the image to a thumbnail improving a lot of traffic, you will have to make temporary copies of the files in order that the functions can access them Here a example: // switch through imagetypes $extension = "jpg"; if(mysql_result($query, 0, 'type') == "image/pjpeg") { $extension = "jpg"; } // overwrite else if(mysql_result($query, 0, 'type') == "image/gif") { $extension = "gif"; } // overwrite // get a temporary filename // use microtime() to get a unique filename // if you request more than one file f.e. by creating large numbers of thumbnails, the server could be not fast enough to save all these different files and you get duplicated copies and resizepics() will resize and output often the same content $filename = microtime()."_temp.".$extension; // open $tempfile = fopen($filename, "w+"); // write fwrite($tempfile, mysql_result($query, 0, 'image')); // close fclose($tempfile); // resize and output the content echo resizepics($filename, '100', '70'); // delete temporary file unlink($filename); NOTE: this script has to be put into a file which sends correct header informations to the browser, otherwise you won't get more to see than a big red cross :-) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecopyresized.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52239 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52239&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52239&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52239&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52239&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52239&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52239&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
