Saving image

[dweb]

Hi

 

I'm really new to php and could really do with some help.

 

I am using the following script

 

http://test.dpetroff.ru/jquery.iviewer.test/test/

 

which basically allows me to position an image within a DIV area

 

My question is, how can I get PHP to save just the image within the DIV area, so it's almost acting like a crop tool

 

I've tried a few things but so far not managed to get anything working

Moving an image around in javascript is vastly different than cropping an image in PHP.  I know it seems like it would be simple, but none of the code that does this viewing stuff is even PHP, it's all JavaScript.

 

You would have to figure out the top-left and bottom-right corners of the "view port" as they relate to the image itself (you may not even have these figures).  Then you'd have to post the image and the coordinates to a PHP script.  Load the image using the gdimage library (which you may have to compile into PHP), create a new blank image of the appropriate size, and then use one of the imagecopy functions (like imagecopyresize) to copy the portion of the larger image into the new smaller image.  Then save the new smaller image inside your web directory and serve it back using an <img /> tag.

ok, gulp, maybe not as easy as I thought

 

any suggestions on  a good php image crop tool like that example?

Not off the top of my head.  Should I ever need something like this, I'd write it myself.
