Resize and rotate image - Codeigniter - php

Question

I'm trying to resize and rotate a image.
At the moment it's only resizing the image, but not rotate it.
Here is the code, hope someone have a solution or something :-)
$config['image_library'] = 'gd2';
$config['source_image'] = $data['full_path'];
$config['new_image'] = $data['file_path'].'thumbs/'.$data['file_name'];
$config['create_thumb'] = FALSE;
$config['maintain_ratio'] = TRUE;
$config['width'] = 235;
$config['height'] = 235;
$this->load->library('image_lib', $config);
$this->image_lib->resize();
$this->image_lib->clear();
$config['create_thumb'] = FALSE; //No thumbnail
$config['source_image'] = $data['file_path'].'thumbs/'.$data['file_name']; //full path for the source image
$config['rotation_angle'] = '180';//
$this->load->library('image_lib',$config);
//Rotate the image
$this->image_lib->rotate();

Answer 1

After
$this->image_lib->clear();
add:
$config = array() to re-initialise your config array.

Answer 2

After clearing the configuration, don't reload the library, reinitialize it:
$this->image_lib->clear();
$config=array();
$config['image_library'] = 'gd2';
$config['source_image'] = $data['file_path'].'thumbs/'.$data['file_name'];
$config['rotation_angle'] = '180';
$this->image_lib->initialize($config); // reinitialize it instead of reloading
$this->image_lib->rotate();
This is the only solution that finally worked for me. Just re-initialising $config did not work out in CodeIgniter 2.2.0.

Answer 3

Make sure you recreate the $config before sending it again.
Otherwise you might end up sending values you don't want to send.
At the moment rotate() gets a $config like this:
$config['image_library'] = 'gd2';
$config['new_image'] = $data['file_path'].'thumbs/'.$data['file_name'];
$config['maintain_ratio'] = TRUE;
$config['width'] = 235;
$config['height'] = 235;
$config['create_thumb'] = FALSE; //No thumbnail
$config['source_image'] = $data['file_path'].'thumbs/'.$data['file_name']; //full path for the source image
$config['rotation_angle'] = '180'; //
