note 55692 added to function.imagecopyresized

I wrote a function not long ago that creates a thumbnail out of a large picture. Unlike other notes on this page, the code is a function so it can be used many times on the same script. The function allows the programer to set max height and width and resizes the picture proportionally. <?php function saveThumbnail($saveToDir, $imagePath, $imageName, $max_x, $max_y) { preg_match("'^(.*)\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$'i", $imageName, $ext); switch (strtolower($ext[2])) { case 'jpg' : case 'jpeg': $im = imagecreatefromjpeg ($imagePath); break; case 'gif' : $im = imagecreatefromgif ($imagePath); break; case 'png' : $im = imagecreatefrompng ($imagePath); break; default : $stop = true; break; } if (!isset($stop)) { $x = imagesx($im); $y = imagesy($im); if (($max_x/$max_y) < ($x/$y)) { $save = imagecreatetruecolor($x/($x/$max_x), $y/($x/$max_x)); } else { $save = imagecreatetruecolor($x/($y/$max_y), $y/($y/$max_y)); } imagecopyresized($save, $im, 0, 0, 0, 0, imagesx($save), imagesy($save), $x, $y); imagegif($save, "{$saveToDir}{$ext[1]}.gif"); imagedestroy($im); imagedestroy($save); } } ?> the function for now takes only jpg,gif and png files, but that can easily be changed. It's an easy to use easy to understand function and I hope it will come useful to someone. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecopyresized.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+55692 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55692&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55692&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55692&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55692&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55692&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55692&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+55692&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
