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.

Hi make sure image uploading is blocked when the file input is empty
ReplyDeleteYeah! We can do it by applying isset($_FILES['image'] or is_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'] condition
Deleteif(!empty($_FILES)) can even be used to block empty image field...
DeleteIts working..
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Is it possible to resize multiple images at same time using this way?
ReplyDeleteGood question! Of course it is possible!
DeleteYou need to add multiple attributable on file input.
For detail see here

ReplyDeleteThere is a problem with resize when uploading .PNG image, it shows black image.
ReplyDeleteIts all about transparency!
DeletePlease see this resource: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32243/can-png-image-transparency-be-preserved-when-using-phps-gdlib-imagecopyresample
Hi, can you tell me how to insert the name of the resized file into a DB? I am trying to insert it but am unsure which variable to use.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
You can store original file name using $_FILES['image']['name'] and rather you can call your file like this way uploads/100x100_yourfilename.jpg
DeleteIs there a quick modification that would allow this to respect the aspect ratio of the original file? Currently all images are cropped according to the height and width parameters? Is there a way to set the width to auto?
ReplyDeleteWould like to keep the aspect ratio too, as NativePaul mentioned! Examples?
ReplyDeleteI'm not a PHP expert but once you retun a value form a function what's after is not executed.
ReplyDeleteSo this code is never reached:
/* cleanup memory */
imagedestroy($image);
imagedestroy($tmp);
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
DeleteNice! Thankyou for the code..
ReplyDeletedoesn't work in IE8... :(
ReplyDeleteThanks, Well done
ReplyDeletethe code is cropping the image..i should get original image instead of cropping...help me please...
ReplyDeletePerfect Code
ReplyDeletesir, can i send these three resisizes Pics in differnt folder insted sending only one folder "UPLOADS"
ReplyDeletepls reply i really needed this thing
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 ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat code, can you please tell me how I can change this code, so I can uploade multiple images? And not one by one?
ReplyDeleteKind regards
