RE: [PHP-DB] Picture Upload

2003-03-11 Thread Dallas Freeman

 

I have asked my host to update the php software, as for now, I need to
know what the lines for changing the size of a picture is.  I couldn't
see any command lines for it, unless it is something different, I don't
know, so could you please show me.

I also need to know, if there is a possibility that php can change the
size of an image before it uploads it to the server (so it changes size
on the end-user's computer  not on the server - that way there would be
a shorter upload time).

Thanking You,




Dallas Freeman

use the GD Library functions - look up on php.net

The GD library is available from http://www.boutell.com/
It is included by default with PHP 4.3.x

Is there a possibility that you can resize an image before uploading to
the server?
 
If so, how?

Afaicr, there is an excellent recipe for doing just that in The
Manual, under image functions.

PHP is server side, and can't do anything on the client side (apart
from reading and writing cookies, if the user allows it). I can't see
any other solution to this than to tell the users to resize the images
themselves.
