I made a simple resize class before I decided to just use ImageMagick for my project. class ImageResize { function ImageResize($file, $height, $width, $output) { $oldImg = imagecreatefromjpeg($file); $oldWidth = imagesx($oldImg); $oldHeight = imagesy($oldImg); if ($oldWidth > $oldHeight) { $newWidth = $width; $newHeight = $oldHeight * ($height / $oldWidth); } if ($oldWidth < $oldHeight) { $newWidth = $oldWidth * ($width / $oldHeight); $newHeight = $height; } if ($oldWidth == $oldHeight) { $newWidth = $width; $newHeight = $height; } $newImg = imagecreatetruecolor($newWidth, $newHeight); imagecopyresampled($newImg, $oldImg, 0, 0, 0, 0, $newWidth, $newHeight, $oldWidth, $oldHeight); return imagejpeg($newImg, $output); } } PHP: (It only resizes JPEGs... I don't think I ever got around to testing it, but if anything is wrong should be something very minor) You would use it like so: $img = new ImageResize(INPUT_FILE, NEW_WIDTH, NEW_HEIGHT, OUTPUT_FILE); PHP: It keeps the aspect ratio of the original file. Just thought I would put it out there if anyone had any sort of a use for this... I know things like this already exist but this is just a simple, unbloated class to resize an image (heck, it doesn't need to even be a class.. haha)
