resizing an image with the gd library

I'm trying to resize an image with the gd library and am having some
difficulty. Here's my code:

<?php

$img = 'http://upload.wikimedi a.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e3/Kheops-
Pyramid.jpg';
list($width, $height) = getimagesize($i mg);
$img = imagecreatefrom jpeg($img);

$temp = imagecreate(500 , 500);
imagecopyresize d($img, $temp, 0, 0, 0, 0, 500, 500, $width, $height);

header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
imagejpeg($temp );
?>

All I get is a 500x500 black picture. What I don't get is a resized
wikimedia.org picture. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

Check usage on imagecopyresize d. I think you switched source and
destination, i.e. you copied your fresh blank image over onto the pyramid
image.
That was it - thanks!

I'm using the code below to loop through some images and resize each image twice, once to create a thumbnail and once to create a small image. The page stops loading around the 38th image out of 40+. Not always the same place but it's either 38th or 39th image, which I find strange as it's not consistent. At first I thought it was a timeout problem so I added - set_time_limit(0); and ignore_user_abort (true); to prevent it timing out,...

Hi there. I need to write a simple program that reads a GIF image from an input stream, resizes it, then writes it back to an output stream in the same format (GIF). (JPEG input/output is good too, but GIF is preferrable). JAI can do this sort of but can't write to GIF format. Also, it looks too complicated for what I need; I'm a bit in a hurry... Is there a simple way of doing what I want? Is there a free,

Hi there, I want to read a jpg-file from a url (f.e. http://someserverWhichIsNOTLocal/images/test.jpg), get the dimensions, resize it, save it to my local disk on the webserver as a gif-image and next show it on my own (mobile) pages.

hi- So I wrote this nice little page that will allow the managers to add images to the products table. Without too many details to confuse everything, basically what I'm doing is: getting an Image from there I'm creating a new Bitmap(Image, int w, int h); then I'm saving that bitmap various encoder quality values.

I have a DataList control that has an Image control in the ItemTemplate. I would like to resize the image that goes into that control. I have a series of jpg files that are full size, full resolution (ie. large). I have a database that contains references to the pictures. Currently I have to resize the jpgs manually, and then point the ImageUrl property at that jpg using databinding. This works fine. I would like to avoid the resizing step...

I am seeking a way to resize a PIL image, even if the original is a smaller dimention than the new size. Resizing seems to only make an image smaller, and not larger. I have a 700x700 sized picture, sometimes that will display an image larger and other times smaller. Is there an easy way to do this, a command that I am missing from the library? Thanks!

Dear NG, years have passed and I am still more designer than programmer. I build a new version of my website which has a few nasty bugs, especially on my startpage: Resizing text brakes the dotted lines which I use as visual border on the left and right edge of the page layout and thus produces an unwanted white gap above the enlarged text. Viewing the page with IE shows this behaviour even without changing the font size.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
