how to upload pictures Image image resize PHP php image upload script resize upload uploading files with php Resize Image While Uploading with PHP

Resize Image While Uploading with PHP

by on in , , , , , , ,
On my previous post I was shown an example how to upload file with php and html. It was based on php simple image upload functionality. Today I am going to show you little bit advance of image uploading. Suppose if you run a website and want to allow users to upload image files than you need to think little bit about server's space and bandwidth. For this purpose you need to do some optimization with image files. Image resize while uploading is one of them. All major website do it in the same way. If a user uploads a 5mb image file they resize it in different sizes and store on there server. It helps them to seed up there website and reduce there budget. Now take a look, how we can do it ourself.

Live Demo Download Source
PHP and HTML(index.php)
This file holds the basic of file uploading html markup and simple php upload handler. 
<?php
include( 'function.php');
// settings
$max_file_size = 1024*200; // 200kb
$valid_exts = array('jpeg', 'jpg', 'png', 'gif');
// thumbnail sizes
$sizes = array(100 => 100, 150 => 150, 250 => 250);

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST' AND isset($_FILES['image'])) {
  if( $_FILES['image']['size'] < $max_file_size ){
    // get file extension
    $ext = strtolower(pathinfo($_FILES['image']['name'], PATHINFO_EXTENSION));
    if (in_array($ext, $valid_exts)) {
      /* resize image */
      foreach ($sizes as $w => $h) {
        $files[] = resize($w, $h);
      }

    } else {
      $msg = 'Unsupported file';
    }
  } else{
    $msg = 'Please upload image smaller than 200KB';
  }
}
?>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Image resize while uploadin</title>
<head>
<body>
  <!-- file uploading form -->
  <form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <label>
      <span>Choose image</span>
      <input type="file" name="image" accept="image/*" />
    </label>
    <input type="submit" value="Upload" />
  </form>
</body>
</html>

Resize Function(function.php):
Resize function is based on PHP GD library. 
/**
 * Image resize
 * @param int $width
 * @param int $height
 */
function resize($width, $height){
  /* Get original image x y*/
  list($w, $h) = getimagesize($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']);
  /* calculate new image size with ratio */
  $ratio = max($width/$w, $height/$h);
  $h = ceil($height / $ratio);
  $x = ($w - $width / $ratio) / 2;
  $w = ceil($width / $ratio);
  /* new file name */
  $path = 'uploads/'.$width.'x'.$height.'_'.$_FILES['image']['name'];
  /* read binary data from image file */
  $imgString = file_get_contents($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']);
  /* create image from string */
  $image = imagecreatefromstring($imgString);
  $tmp = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);
  imagecopyresampled($tmp, $image,
    0, 0,
    $x, 0,
    $width, $height,
    $w, $h);
  /* Save image */
  switch ($_FILES['image']['type']) {
    case 'image/jpeg':
      imagejpeg($tmp, $path, 100);
      break;
    case 'image/png':
      imagepng($tmp, $path, 0);
      break;
    case 'image/gif':
      imagegif($tmp, $path);
      break;
    default:
      exit;
      break;
  }
  return $path;
  /* cleanup memory */
  imagedestroy($image);
  imagedestroy($tmp);
}

    1. Yeah! We can do it by applying isset($_FILES['image'] or is_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'] condition

      Delete

    2. if(!empty($_FILES)) can even be used to block empty image field...

    1. You can store original file name using $_FILES['image']['name'] and rather you can call your file like this way uploads/100x100_yourfilename.jpg

  9. Is there a quick modification that would allow this to respect the aspect ratio of the original file? Currently all images are cropped according to the height and width parameters? Is there a way to set the width to auto?

    ReplyDelete

  10. Would like to keep the aspect ratio too, as NativePaul mentioned! Examples?

    ReplyDelete

  11. I'm not a PHP expert but once you retun a value form a function what's after is not executed.
    So this code is never reached:
    /* cleanup memory */
    imagedestroy($image);
    imagedestroy($tmp);

    ReplyDelete
    Replies

    1. That is correct. Once a return is reached, the function is exited. The return should ALWAYS (ok, there are few exceptions...) be the last line of a function

    pls reply i really needed this thing

    ReplyDelete

  18. Thx for the code, only one thing tho, whatever it is affter the return won't be executed, so your function isn't cleaning up the memory. Just move the return at the bottom ;)

  19. Great code, can you please tell me how I can change this code, so I can uploade multiple images? And not one by one?

  29. grow up kid. is this what you call RESIZE? At first glance I thought it is a great script. It is doing only a NORTIST crop. Webmechanic kids' silly way of handling images

  31. This script works great on its own, but has anybody been able to merge this with the Multiple File Upload? (http://www.w3bees.com/2013/02/multiple-file-upload-with-php.html) It seems to be more than modifying the file input field within the form. I've added the square brackets to name="image" as well as multiple="multiple", but the script doesn't want to execute the resize function. I've also tried merging the two scripts together, but nothing successful yet.

  50. Loved the script, and I added a lot of great features of my own, including a custom filename before adding it to database, but like others have mentioned, I still think the original image should be maintained, and the aspect ratio should be (optionally) preserved as one of the array options.

  54. Those who dont want their image to be cropped, then replace it with this code

    this worked for me

    //do not crop update
    $ratio = max($width/$w, $height/$h);
    //$h = ceil($height / $ratio);
    $x = ($w - $width / $ratio) / 2;
    //$w = ceil($width / $ratio);
    /* new file name */
    $path = 'songs/'.$width.'x'.$height.'_'.$_FILES['songs']['name'][$key];
    $path1 = $width.'x'.$height.'_'.$_FILES['songs']['name'][$key];
    /* read binary data from image file */
    $imgString = file_get_contents($_FILES['songs']['tmp_name'][$key]);
    /* create image from string */
    $image = imagecreatefromstring($imgString);
    $tmp = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);
    imagecopyresampled($tmp, $image,0, 0, 0, 0,$width, $height,$w, $h);
