This is a PHP Class useful if you need to resize images keeping their aspect ratio, using the GD Library. The new height is calculated proportionally to the new width’s size and reverse. For instance you have an image with the following dimensions: width – 1000, height – 800. Its thumbnail with a width of 250 will have the height of 200 (the ratio is kept).
Here’s the class (I will explain you how it works below):
resize.image.class.php

Variables Info$image_to_resize – Here we set the full path (i.e. /home/www.mysite.com/public_html/images/myimage.jpg) to the image we wish to resize. If the image is in the same folder with the class, then you can just set the filename as the path (i.e. mywallpaper.jpg).
The $new_width & $new_height are the new dimensions for the resized image.
$ratio – Do you wish to keep the image’s ratio aspect after resize? If it’s set to true it will calculate the new dimensions based on the new width (if it’s bigger than the height) or the new height (if it’s bigger than width).
$new_image_name – It’s used to set a name for the new resized image. If it’s not set a name will be assigned automatically.
$save_folder – The path to the folder where the new image will be saved. Make sure it’s writable (0777). It no folder is set the new image will show in the browser without being saved.
Here’s an example of how you can use this class:
01.
<?php
02.
include
'resize.image.class.php'
;
03.
04.
$image
=
new
Resize_Image;
05.
06.
$image
->new_width = 200;
07.
$image
->new_height = 200;
08.
09.
$image
->image_to_resize =
"/home/mysite.com/public_html/images/sunset_wallpaper.jpg"
;
// Full Path to the file
10.
11.
$image
->ratio = true;
// Keep Aspect Ratio?
12.
13.
// Name of the new image (optional) - If it's not set a new will be added automatically
14.
15.
$image
->new_image_name =
'sunset_wallpaper_thumbnail'
;
16.
17.
/* Path where the new image should be saved. If it's not set the script will output the image without saving it */
18.
19.
$image
->save_folder =
'thumbs/'
;
20.
21.
$process
=
$image
->resize();
22.
23.
if
(
$process
[
'result'
] &&
$image
->save_folder)
24.
{
25.
echo
'The new image ('
.
$process
[
'new_file_path'
].
') has been saved.'
;
26.
}

How to invoke this class to generate thumbnails in a HTML page?
This class has an advantage: you can resize images ‘on the fly’ with it. This way you don’t have to necessarily save the resized image on the server. You can just output it. Here’s how you can call this class from a HTML page without using any PHP code in it:
demo.html
01.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
02.
<
html
>
03.
<
head
>
04.
<
title
> Show Resized Image </
title
>
05.
<
meta
name
=
"Author"
content
=
"Bit Repository"
>
06.
<
meta
name
=
"Keywords"
content
=
"src, image, resize, on the fly"
>
07.
<
meta
name
=
"Description"
content
=
"Display a resized image"
>
08.
</
head
>
09.
<
body
>
10.
<
img
src
=
"resize_image.php?image=sunset.jpg&new_width=200&new_height=200"
>
11.
</
body
>
12.
</
html
>
As you can see, the resize_image.php script is called. Some info is needed to make the resize: original image (‘image’), a width (‘new_width’) and a height (‘new_height’). In many cases, if the ‘ratio aspect’ is enabled, you can specify only one measurement. The new dimensions will be calculated based on whether you choose: width or height. Here’s the resize_image.php script:
resize_image.php
01.
<?php
02.
set_time_limit(10000);
03.
04.
error_reporting
(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
05.
06.
include
'resize.image.class.php'
;
07.
08.
$resize_image
=
new
Resize_Image;
09.
10.
// Folder where the (original) images are located with trailing slash at the end
11.
$images_dir
=
'images/'
;
12.
13.
// Image to resize
14.
$image
=
$_GET
[
'image'
];
15.
16.
/* Some validation */
17.
if
(!@
file_exists
(
$images_dir
.
$image
))
18.
{
19.
exit
(
'The requested image does not exist.'
);
20.
}
21.
22.
// Get the new with & height
23.
$new_width
= (int)
$_GET
[
'new_width'
];
24.
$new_height
= (int)
$_GET
[
'new_height'
];
25.
26.
$resize_image
->new_width =
$new_width
;
27.
$resize_image
->new_height =
$new_height
;
28.
29.
$resize_image
->image_to_resize =
$images_dir
.
$image
;
// Full Path to the file
30.
31.
$resize_image
->ratio = true;
// Keep aspect ratio
32.
33.
$process
=
$resize_image
->resize();
// Output image
34.
