Scaling a watermark to fit parent image

Question

My photo sizes vary, they are either landscape, portrait or square, and I need to make a watermark the best fit for each photo - so I need to resize just the width of the waterm

Answer 1

This resizes the watermark and copies directly to the image.

You don't need the existing imagecopy line anymore.

$success = imagecopyresized($image,                 // Destination image
           $watermark,                              // Source image
           $imageSize[0]/2 - $newWatermarkWidth/2,  // Destination X
           $imageSize[1]/2 - imagesy($watermark)/2, // Destination Y
           0,                                       // Source X
           0,                                       // Source Y
           $newWatermarkWidth,                      // Destination W
           imagesy($watermark),                     // Destination H
           imagesx($watermark),                     // Source W
           imagesy($watermark));                    // Source H
