The variable $image_size['0'] is not a reference to the actual image size.
You'll need to calculate the ratio of the dimensions, then resize it with an appropriate function that resizes images, probably in the GD library.
First, you'll have to load the image. I'll let you choose what the type is:
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg($new_path);
$image = imagecreatefromgif($new_path);
$image = imagecreatefrompng($new_path);
Now calculate the ratio:
$ratio = 700 / imagesx($image); // 700 for the width you want...
// imagesx() to determine the current width
Get the scaled height:
$height = imagesy($image) * $ratio; // imagesy() to determine the current height
Do the actual resize:
$new_image = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);
imagecopyresampled($new_image, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $width, $height, imagesx($image), imagesy($image));
$image = $new_image; // $image has now been replaced with the resized one.
I found a simple class for resizing images. To protect from link rotting, I have recreated it here:
image_type = $image_info[2];
if( $this->image_type == IMAGETYPE_JPEG ) {
$this->image = imagecreatefromjpeg($filename);
} elseif( $this->image_type == IMAGETYPE_GIF ) {
$this->image = imagecreatefromgif($filename);
} elseif( $this->image_type == IMAGETYPE_PNG ) {
$this->image = imagecreatefrompng($filename);
}
}
function save($filename, $image_type=IMAGETYPE_JPEG, $compression=75, $permissions=null) {
if( $image_type == IMAGETYPE_JPEG ) {
imagejpeg($this->image,$filename,$compression);
} elseif( $image_type == IMAGETYPE_GIF ) {
imagegif($this->image,$filename);
} elseif( $image_type == IMAGETYPE_PNG ) {
imagepng($this->image,$filename);
}
if( $permissions != null) {
chmod($filename,$permissions);
}
}
function output($image_type=IMAGETYPE_JPEG) {
if( $image_type == IMAGETYPE_JPEG ) {
imagejpeg($this->image);
} elseif( $image_type == IMAGETYPE_GIF ) {
imagegif($this->image);
} elseif( $image_type == IMAGETYPE_PNG ) {
imagepng($this->image);
}
}
function getWidth() {
return imagesx($this->image);
}
function getHeight() {
return imagesy($this->image);
}
function resizeToHeight($height) {
$ratio = $height / $this->getHeight();
$width = $this->getWidth() * $ratio;
$this->resize($width,$height);
}
function resizeToWidth($width) {
$ratio = $width / $this->getWidth();
$height = $this->getheight() * $ratio;
$this->resize($width,$height);
}
function scale($scale) {
$width = $this->getWidth() * $scale/100;
$height = $this->getheight() * $scale/100;
$this->resize($width,$height);
}
function resize($width,$height) {
$new_image = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);
imagecopyresampled($new_image, $this->image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $width, $height, $this->getWidth(), $this->getHeight());
$this->image = $new_image;
}
}
?>
