Answer 1

For the cropping part, I am typing the code without testing, but this should work:

371, 'Y'=>156);
$p2 = array('X'=>468, 'Y'=>156);
$p3 = array('X'=>468, 'Y'=>272);
$p4 = array('X'=>371, 'Y'=>272);

//let's calculate the parametres
$srcX = $p1['X'];
$srcY = $p1['Y'];
$width = $p2['X'] - $p1['X'];
$height = $p4['Y'] - $p1['Y'];

//image processing
$srcImg = imagecreatefromjpeg($srcImg);
$dstImg = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);
imagecopy($dstImg, $srcImg, 0, 0, $srcX, $srcY, $width, $height);
imagejpeg($dstImg, $outImg, 100); // 100 for highest quality, 0 for lowest quality
imagedestroy($dstImg);
?>

The above code assumes that your source image is in JPEG format and the coordinates make a perfect rectangle or square.

Hope that helps.
