[Request] I am looking for a high-quality JPG resize/optimize function

[Ragnorack67]

Hi, I am looking for a complete PHP function that will resize &
optimize any JPG image with very good end results. My server is
running PHP 4.3.8.

So, for instance a 1600x1200 JPG at ../somewhere/picture.jpg

could be read by the function and save where I specify like
.../somewhere/pictureResized. jpg

.....what is most important for me besides a good end result is the
function should calculate which side of the image is larger, and based
on a maximum value I preset (like 800), adjust the image proportionally
to 800x600 (for example).

Thanks so much for anyone's assistance with this!

Almost trivial, see the function resize() in
http://tmp.tryba.nl/resize/img.phps

used to serve reduced images from raw jpegs created by a camera
(http://jamie.tryba.nl/slideshow.php)

Could you pls help me with actual implementation of this, so if I have
a 1600x1200 picture, how to tell it where it is, and where to save a
resized version on the server:

<?php

function resize($file,$n x,$ny)
{
$image=imagecre atefromjpeg($fi le);

$x=imagesx($ima ge);
$y=imagesy($ima ge);
$r=$x/$y;

$mr=$nx/$ny;

if($r>$mr)
{
$f=$x/$nx;
}
else
{
$f=$y/$ny;
}

$nx=round($x/$f);
$ny=round($y/$f);

$newimage=image createtruecolor ($nx,$ny);
imagecopyresamp led($newimage,$ image,0,0,0,0,$ nx,$ny,$x,$y);

return $newimage;
}

?>

ALEX,

There are many different ways of scaling an image.

depending on the amount of detail and amount of colors in the original, you
should use different methods. It is sometimes better not to scale an image
at once, but in several steps instead, where each step isn't bigger than
49% scaleing, to preserve quality.

one simple php-script should be like this:
<?php
// The file
$filename = 'test.jpg';
$outputfilename = "/somewhere/picture.jpg";

// Set a maximum height and width
$width = 200;
$height = 200;

// Get new dimensions
list($width_ori g, $height_orig) = getimagesize($f ilename);

if ($width && ($width_orig < $height_orig)) {
$width = ($height / $height_orig) * $width_orig;
} else {
$height = ($width / $width_orig) * $height_orig;
}

// Resample
$image_p = imagecreatetrue color($width, $height);
$image = imagecreatefrom jpeg($filename) ;
imagecopyresamp led($image_p, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $width, $height,
$width_orig, $height_orig);

// Output
imagejpeg($imag e_p, $outputfilename , 100);
?>

play with it..
