how to process an image from the IMG tag before displaying

[anne13]

Hi All!

I have a java servlet class that is needed to be coded　in PHP.

I need to process the image coming from the REQUEST of an IMG tag.


HTML Code example:
[code]IMG="http://a.abc-efg.co.jp/demo/Sample.jpg"[/code]

From this URL, a request comes in for the Sample.jpg to be displayed. But before this image be displayed, some process should be done first at the back-end, then the right size of the image should will be displayed.

A php script will not be called from this IMG tag. The trigger would be the REQUEST..

I have done this in java by using a Filter class and filter mapping in the web.xml file.

I not am sure this can be done in PHP. Please give me some suggestions or code snippets or any tutorial.

Thanks.

so Im assuming you want an image resize script, well here's one that works well
[code]
<?php
$img = $_REQUEST['<image name>'];

header('Content-type: image/jpeg');

$source = imagecreatefromjpeg($img);
$width = imagesx($source);
$height = imagesy($source);
$max = <maximum size> // ie 250, if max size is 250x250
if(($width > $max) || ($height > $max))
    {if($width > $height)
        {$new = ($width/$max);}
    else
        {$new = ($height/$max);}
    $new_width = ($width/$new);
    $new_height = ($height/$new);
    
    $new_image = imagecreatetruecolor($new_width, $new_height);
    
    imagecopyresized($new_image, $source, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_width, $new_height, $width, $height);
    
    imagejpeg($new_image);
    }    
else
    {imagejpeg($source);}
?>
[/code]

Thanks for your reply.

Actually, the image I want to display are already resized using ImageMagick. The part that I don't know how to do is, "knowing that an IMG request has come from the IMG tag".

Because in the client side code[!--coloro:#CC0000--][span style=\"color:#CC0000\"][!--/coloro--] [code]IMG="http://a.abc-efg.co.jp/demo/Sample.jpg"[/code] [!--colorc--][/span][!--/colorc--], there is no PHP page being called.. The REQUEST will come to this [!--coloro:#FF0000--][span style=\"color:#FF0000\"][!--/coloro--]/demo/[!--colorc--][/span][!--/colorc--] folder under the document root. How do I handle requests coming to this folder? I want to call a PHP script when this (IMG="http://a.abc-efg.co.jp/demo/Sample.jpg) kind of requests comes in..

Hope my explanation is not bad...
