upload form with resize on upload HELLLLP PLEASE

[mrblues]

Hi..

 

I need urgent help so bad, i have this upload form that works like a charm, but i would like it to resize images on upload like 600 x 400 but it shall keep it`s normal shape if you understand it shoul not distort the image ----how do i do that and where should i put the new kode in the script. you have to know i`m a newbie to php so you have to be gentle 

I hope someone can explain it to me or show me please i`m going crazy over this.

 

Here`s the upload script...

 

<?php

 

//This is the directory where images will be saved

$target = "billeder/";

$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['photo']['name']);

 

//This gets all the other information from the form

$name=$_POST['name'];

$email=$_POST['email'];

$phone=$_POST['phone'];

$pic=($_FILES['photo']['name']);

 

// Connects to your Database

mysql_connect("*********", "********", "******") or die(mysql_error());

mysql_select_db("*********") or die(mysql_error());

 

//Writes the information to the database

mysql_query("INSERT INTO `employees` VALUES ('$name', '$email', '$phone', '$pic')");

 

//Writes the photo to the server

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], $target))

{

 

//Tells you if its all ok

echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory";

}

else {

 

//Gives and error if its not

echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";

}

?>

 

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="add.php" method="POST">

Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>

E-mail: <input type="text" name = "email"><br>

Phone: <input type="text" name = "phone"><br>

Photo: <input type="file" name="photo"><br>

<input type="submit" value="Add">

</form>

 

</body>

</html>

Hello mrblues,

My brain can't handle the php right now as I am somewhat new-ish myself, tired, and lazy tonight. I can however handle the math right now.

 

To make your image scale proportionally, use some script like this:

 

<?php

//get the image width and height
//some code goes here that gets the image width and height, we'll just fake it for now below
$imgWidth = 700;
$imgHeight = 350;

//what is the width you want the image to scale to? You could do this with
//height too, but just pick one or the other
$newImgWidth = 400;

//we picked a new width, so we need to figure out the new height
$newImgHeight = round($newImgWidth * $imgHeight / $imgWidth);

//see the result
echo $newImgHeight;

?>

 

I hope this helps inspire.
