Compress jpeg on server with PHP

Question

I have a site with about 1500 JPEG images, and I want to compress them all. Going through the directories is not a problem, but I cannot seem to find a function that compres

Answer 1

you're not telling if you're using GD, so i assume this.

$img = imagecreatefromjpeg("myimage.jpg");   // load the image-to-be-saved

// 50 is quality; change from 0 (worst quality,smaller file) - 100 (best quality)
imagejpeg($img,"myimage_new.jpg",50);

unlink("myimage.jpg");   // remove the old image
