Resize images of every size to fixed width and height - php

Question

I tried a lot of methods to do that, but I still have a lot of troubles with that.
Is it possible to resize all images to fixed width and height?
I want every uploaded image with width>=200px and height>=260px to be resized to width=200px and height=260px, but I want to keep a bit of proportionality and if image is bigger than 200x260px to resize it proportionally and then to capture center of image 200x260px.
I just need idea to know where to start and what to do, but if you have an example I would like to see it. Thanks.

If you want to trim the image you can do in the following way:-
//Your Image
$imgSrc = "image.jpg";
//getting the image dimensions
list($width, $height) = getimagesize($imgSrc);
//saving the image into memory (for manipulation with GD Library)
$myImage = imagecreatefromjpeg($imgSrc);
// calculating the part of the image to use for thumbnail
if ($width > $height) {
$y = 0;
$x = ($width - $height) / 2;
$smallestSide = $height;
} else {
$x = 0;
$y = ($height - $width) / 2;
$smallestSide = $width;
}
// copying the part into thumbnail
$thumbSize = 100;
$thumb = imagecreatetruecolor($thumbSize, $thumbSize);
imagecopyresampled($thumb, $myImage, 0, 0, $x, $y, $thumbSize, $thumbSize, $smallestSide, $smallestSide);
//final output
header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
imagejpeg($thumb);

To begin writing the function, we have to declare it as such… Then we have to throw in our attributes. We want to restrict our image, so we have to let the function know the dimensions to which we want to restrict it, and we have to know what the original image size is to begin with (we’ll get to that part in a second).
<?php
function imageResize($width, $height, $target) {
//takes the larger size of the width and height and applies the
formula accordingly...this is so this script will work
dynamically with any size image
if ($width > $height) {
$percentage = ($target / $width);
} else {
$percentage = ($target / $height);
}
//gets the new value and applies the percentage, then rounds the value
$width = round($width * $percentage);
$height = round($height * $percentage);
//returns the new sizes in html image tag format...this is so you
can plug this function inside an image tag and just get the
return "width=\"$width\" height=\"$height\"";
}
?>
Before we take our new function on a test drive, we need to get the width and height of the image that we want to display. There is a magical command in PHP called getimagesize(). This command, used properly, will return the image width, height, type, and even the width and height in HTML image tag format (width=”x” height=”y”).
$mysock = getimagesize("images/sock001.jpg");
Now, $mysock is an array that holds vital information about the particular image we want to display. In index 0, we have the width ($mysock[0]), and in index 1, we have the height ($mysock[1]). That’s really all we need, in order to get what we want done. Want to see the function… well, function? Here we go!
Let’s say you want to display a list of your beautiful socks, but you want room on the page to show them neatly in a row, and to do that they cannot be larger than 150 pixels tall or wide.
<?php
//get the image size of the picture and load it into an array
$mysock = getimagesize("images/sock001.jpg");
?>
<!-using a standard html image tag, where you would have the
width and height, insert your new imageResize() function with
the correct attributes -->
<img src="images/sock001.jpg" <?php imageResize($mysock[0],
$mysock[1], 150); ?>>
That’s it! Now, no matter what the original file size, it will be restricted to no more than 150 pixels in width or height (or whatever you specify).
