Re: Using Images in PHP]

Good Morning praveen, you will need both Imagick http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php#php (points to the documentation about how to use Imagick with PHP) and the PEAR extension class (PECL): http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick There is an alternative to Imagick already shipping with PHP called GD: http://de2.php.net/manual/de/book.image.php http://de2.php.net/manual/de/function.imagecopyresized.php#88533 (example how to resize images) Installation is as easy as this: -> open up php.ini -> uncomment the following ";extension=php_gd2.dll" (remove the semicolon before "extension=..") -> restart Apache Creating thumbnails is a bit more complicated than with Imagick, but feel free to use the following class: http://gist.github.com/129666 It's not complete yet because I wrote it about 1 hour ago, but I hope I'll find some time to complete it and it already resizes pictures in PNG and GIF format, JPGs look a bit crappy. It'll hopefully help you figure out how to resize images with GD. Best regards, Sascha Katiyar (GMail) schrieb:
