Cut and resize image

[romaluca]

In server i have some images with random dimension.

I want cut the image to render width=height.

ex.

image with width=400 and height=800
i want cut the image to render height=400

After this operation i want resize the image to 64x64


How i can to do it?
Thanks

Using PHP's GD Library:
http://au3.php.net/gd

[Contrid]

First create a new image.
Then crop the current image and copy it to the new image.

//output content header
header("Content-type: image/gif");
//create a new true color image with 64px width and height
$newImage = imagecreatetruecolor(64, 64);
//put the original image into memory as a variable
$oldImage = imagecreatefromgif("imagefilename.gif");
//crop the original image at 400 by 400
//copy the cropped part to a 64 by 64 part onto the $newImage
imagecopyresampled($newImage, $oldImage, 0, 0, 0, 0, 64, 64, 400, 400);
//output the new image by type
imagegif($newImage); 

That does it for both the cropping and resizing.
I hope the code is right. I didn't test it. Just typed quickly.

You will need to have PHP GD Support on your server.
To check whether GD is enabled, you can execute phpinfo(); to see your extensions.

Thanks.
But what is the function for the cut?

Doing exactly as you asked using ImageMagick; to work on landscape photos you would need to change the code. But this will prove the principle.

<?php

$size = getimagesize('upload.jpg');

exec("/usr/local/bin/convert upload.jpg -crop {$size[0]}x{$size[0]}+0+0 -resize 64x64 new_image.jpg");

?>

Note:
There is a difference between Contrids and my code: Contrids code is doing as you asked cropping to 400 then resizing to 64x64. My code is cropping the height to match the width then resizing to 64x64. You could modify Contrids code to have the same effect as mine or mine to match his.

If your not familiar with programming, you could download the images to your computer and resize them with a pretty easy program called "Easy Thumbnailer".

I am not sure if you already solved your image resizing issue, but for you and all other devs like you looking for a way to transform images on the fly, you might want to check the open-source project Asido: there are a lot of useful features (http://www.asido.info/about/features/), including various types of image resize, watermarking, image copy, cropping, etc. It can use various platforms: not only GD but ImageMagick too (either via shell or via any of the php extensions like php_magickwand.dll or php_imagick.dll). Here's the list of drivers: http://www.asido.info/about/drivers/
