Scale Image Using PHP and Maintaining Aspect Ratio

Question

Basically I want to upload an image (which i\'ve sorted) and scale it down to certain constraints such as max width and height but maintain the aspect ratio of the original

Answer 1

This is my function to scale an image with save aspect ration for X, Y or both axes.

It's also scales an image for percent of it size.

Compatibe with PHP 5.4

/** Use X axis to scale image. */
define('IMAGES_SCALE_AXIS_X', 1);
/** Use Y axis to scale image. */
define('IMAGES_SCALE_AXIS_Y', 2);
/** Use both X and Y axes to calc image scale. */
define('IMAGES_SCALE_AXIS_BOTH', IMAGES_SCALE_AXIS_X ^ IMAGES_SCALE_AXIS_Y);
/** Compression rate for JPEG image format. */
define('JPEG_COMPRESSION_QUALITY', 90);
/** Compression rate for PNG image format. */
define('PNG_COMPRESSION_QUALITY', 9);

/**
 * Scales an image with save aspect ration for X, Y or both axes.
 *
 * @param string $sourceFile Absolute path to source image.
 * @param string $destinationFile Absolute path to scaled image.
 * @param int|null $toWidth Maximum `width` of scaled image.
 * @param int|null $toHeight Maximum `height` of scaled image.
 * @param int|null $percent Percent of scale of the source image's size.
 * @param int $scaleAxis Determines how of axis will be used to scale image.
 *
 * May take a value of {@link IMAGES_SCALE_AXIS_X}, {@link IMAGES_SCALE_AXIS_Y} or {@link IMAGES_SCALE_AXIS_BOTH}.
 * @return bool True on success or False on failure.

Tests:

$sourceFile = '/source/file.jpg'; // Original size: 672x100
$destinationPath = '/destination/path/';

scaleImage($sourceFile, $destinationPath . 'file_original_size.jpg', 672, 100);
// Result: Image 672x100
scaleImage($sourceFile, $destinationPath . 'file_scaled_75_PERCENT.jpg', null, null, 75);
// Result: Image 504x75
scaleImage($sourceFile, $destinationPath . 'file_scaled_336_X.jpg', 336, null, null, IMAGES_SCALE_AXIS_X);
// Result: Image 336x50
scaleImage($sourceFile, $destinationPath . 'file_scaled_50_Y.jpg', null, 50, null, IMAGES_SCALE_AXIS_Y);
// Result: Image 336x50
scaleImage($sourceFile, $destinationPath . 'file_scaled_500x70_BOTH.jpg', 500, 70, null, IMAGES_SCALE_AXIS_BOTH);
// Result: Image 470x70
scaleImage($sourceFile, $destinationPath . 'file_scaled_450x70_BOTH.jpg', 450, 70, null, IMAGES_SCALE_AXIS_BOTH);
// Result: Image 450x66
scaleImage($sourceFile, $destinationPath . 'file_scaled_500x70_40_PERCENT_BOTH.jpg', 500, 70, 40, IMAGES_SCALE_AXIS_BOTH);
// Result: Image 268x40
