Thumbnailing pictures

Post by Luke »

Anybody know a good program that thumbnails images and produces like a javascript popup or something that makes them large when you click on them, but can be easily integrated into my website?

The thumbnail base class that you'll need: viewtopic.php?t=39883
Also included in that post is an extension of the class to produce rounded thumbnails.

Extension of the base class to make drop shadowed thumbnails: viewtopic.php?t=39929
Extension of the base class to make black and white thumbnails: viewtopic.php?t=39886

You'll need GD2 installed .. but you'll need that to do anything with graphics.

that's something that needs to be installed on my server?]

Edit: scratch that - I found the answer on php.net

I do not adminster my own server... I sent an email to the admin asking him to install the lib, but my guess is that he will not. Does anybody know of a good thumbnailing script that does not use the GD library?

Yes

Yes GD is installed on your server. Make a php page with just phpinfo(); on it and upload it to your server. Open it up in your browser and see if GD is configured.

OK GD is installed, but I still don't understand your php onion... I've never worked with GD. I have no idea how this is supposed to work.

I'm actually in the middle of writing a tutorial on 'Uploading and Resizing an Image' for phpgd.com .. I'll post in it the graphics folder when I'm done. Sneak preview sort of thing.

Nice script.
Do you know a method to capture a website on the fly ?
Adding this functionally will be a hit for this script.
