resizing images on the fly

[mdmartiny]

Hey everyone,

 

I am looking for a way to resize images for my website. I have been looking for a script, function, anything that works for a couple of days and nothing has seemed to work the way that I would like it. I am unfamiliar with resizing images using php so I am very confused and completely lost with all of this.

 

I don't want to make a thumbnail and save it in a different directory. I have used the html width="150" height="200" not all of the images are the same size and it makes them look funny.

 

Here is what I have written so far

<a href="../../auto_images/<?php echo "$image"; ?>" rel="lightbox-scans"><img src="../../auto_images/<?php echo "$image"; ?>" width="150px" height="200px"/></a><br />
         <div id="scans">
            <?php 
	   if (!$image2 == "") {
		   echo "<a href=\"../../auto_images/$image2\" rel=\"lightbox-scans\"><img src=\"../../auto_images/$image2\" width=\"30px\" height=\"50px\"/></a> ";
	   }
	   
	   if (!$image3 == "") {
		   echo "<a href=\"../../auto_images/$image3\" rel=\"lightbox-scans\"><img src=\"../../auto_images/$image3\" width=\"30px\" height=\"50px\"/></a>";
	   }
  ?>

 

I am just looking for a simple way of doing this.

 

Thank You

I've used simpleImage before, and found it easy to use.  Great write ups as well.

instead of using width: and height: you can either set images using a max-width: or max-height: . this will help to maintain the images proportions so you dont get an unproportional funny looking image

I did not think of using that.. I did that and it worked perfect. Sometime it is the simplest anwers that you never think of
