Overall Background:
I am in charge of migrating an already-made Content Mangement System
from ASP to PHP. I do not know PHP -- yet! I am trying to foresee
potential issues, and here is one.
Image Specific Background:
The ASP version of the CMS uses a 3rd party component to accept the
uploading of images, and then to resize them so that thumbnails are
made (as well as the original image) for photo albums.
>From what I have researched, new releases of PHP have image
manipulating abilities built-in to the language. But most of what I
have seen is "real-time" conversion where the PHP spits out a stream of
manipulated images. I want to be able to make a thumbnail for each
image, which will be saved to the server, and then reference this
thumbnail in a database.
Can someone point me to code that relates to this?
Or offer their thoughts on this? Any forseeable problems, especially
related to File Writing (making a new image) or shortcomings of
built-in image manipulation capabilities? (In the 3rd party ASP version
we had to get a really old version of a component that allowed GIF
manipulation, due to licensing issues, for instance.)
Any thoughts from PHP developers are appreciated!
Thanks,
Ann
