DataRater Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I want to download picture files and automatically generate a thumbnail. Any suggestion which gets me moving forward would be much appreciated. So I guess a reference to a PHP book, some code examples or a link to some inexpensive or free software would be the answer. Can you help? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/114507-solved-picture-download-thumpnail-generation/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PseudoEvolution Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 You want something for "batch cropping". Google for "batch crop image program" or something. I used to have a program like this but I forgot the name. There are some good free ones out there, you just have to find it. [edit] Almost forgot, basically the program would take image files and resize them to whatever you want. The "batch" aspect means you can do it to multiple images at once. Hope this helps!

DataRater Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 Thanks PseudoEvolution. I was hoping for a solution which was just PHP code so someone can download a picture to my site and it automatically gets thumbnailed and then displayed. I want something similar to a car sales solution where as part of the advertisement the poster of the advertisement can download some pictures and they get displayed. Any thoughts?

Wuhtzu Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Yes, have a look at these two posts and their pieces of code. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,165733.0.html http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,166084.0.html They will get you started out and probably create some new questions.

DataRater Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 Wuhtzu, Thanks for that. I'll check those links out as they look like the kind of solution I'm after. Thanks. I'll set this topic to solved and if I have any questions I'll open another.
