converting DURING upload before saving on server png/gif to jpg

Question

So I have an image upload script. It uploads the image and saves it to the space on the server. What I can\'t seem to get my head around is say, when the user uploads a .png

Answer 1

Using GD, and assuming $images is the directory where you store your images (with ending slash), and $name - the file name of the original image:

$destinationPath = $images . basename($name, $ext) . '.jpg';
$source = imagecreatefrompng($images . $name);
imagejpeg($source, $destinationPath, 75);
imagedestroy($source);

Or with Imagick:

$image = new Imagick($images . $name);
$image->writeImage($destinationPath);
$image->destroy();
