I\'m wanting to write some PHP code which automatically resizes any image uploaded via a form to 147x147px, but I have no idea how to go about it (I\'m a relative PHP novice

Answer 1

private function getTempImage($url, $tempName){
  $tempPath = 'tempFilePath' . $tempName . '.png';
  $source_image = imagecreatefrompng($url); // check type depending on your necessities.
  $source_imagex = imagesx($source_image);
  $source_imagey = imagesy($source_image);
  $dest_imagex = 861; // My default value
  $dest_imagey = 96;  // My default value

  $dest_image = imagecreatetruecolor($dest_imagex, $dest_imagey);

  imagecopyresampled($dest_image, $source_image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $dest_imagex, $dest_imagey, $source_imagex, $source_imagey);

  imagejpeg($dest_image, $tempPath, 100);

  return $tempPath;

}
