Description:
phpThumb() uses the GD library to create thumbnails from
images (GIF, PNG or JPEG) on the fly. The output size is
configurable (can be larger or smaller than the source),
and the source may be the entire image or only a portion
of the original image. True color and resampling is used
if GD v2.0+ is available, otherwise low-color and simple
resizing is used. Source image can be a physical file on
the server or can be retrieved from a database. GIFs are
supported on all versions of GD even if GD does not have
native GIF support thanks to the GIFutil class by Fabien
Ezber. AntiHotlinking feature prevents other people from
using your server to resize their thumbnails, or link to
your images from another server. The cache feature
reduces server load.
Usage:
Call phpThumb() just like you would a normal image.
Examples:
<IMG SRC="phpThumb.php?src=/image.jpg&w=100">
<IMG SRC="phpThumb.php?src=http://example.com/foo.jpg">
See the "demo" link on http://phpthumb.sourceforge.net
for more usage examples). Parameters that can be passed
are listed below under "URL Parameters".
NOTE: It's recommended you use the local image filename
wherever possible (rather than http://) because performance
is much better, less (or no) use of temp files, and the
last-modified check for cached files doesn't work for
remote files.
To access files over a LAN with Windows share names you
must use the network name (or IP) and not a mapped drive
name, for example:
//othercomputer/file.jpg - good
//192.168.2.1/file.jpg - good
z:/file.jpg - won't work
This is a PHP limitation (see www.php.net/file-exists)
Note: you may want to use "/" slashes instead of "\" if
you have magic_quotes_gpc enabled to avoid stripslashes
problems, although either slash should work if
magic_quotes_gpc is disabled
Alternate PATH_INFO-style Usage:
phpThumb.php can also be called by passing parameters not
after the usual "?" but like this:
phpThumb.php/<params>=<values>;<w>x<h>;<image>
For example:
phpThumb.php/100;pic.jpg
phpThumb.php/100;images/pic.jpg
phpThumb.php/100;/images/pic.jpg
phpThumb.php/100x200;pic.jpg
phpThumb.php/x200;pic.jpg
phpThumb.php/f=jpeg;q=50;100x200;pic.jpg
phpThumb.php/fltr[]=usm;100;pic.jpg
<image> must be the last item. Dimensions must be the second-
last item. As many key/value pairs for parameters can be
passed before those last two items, with each pair joined by
equals ("=") and seperated by semicolon (";")
Configuration:
There are some configuration options you may (but are
not required to) change. Most configuration options can
be set when you call phpThumb() - see list below), but
default configuration options (such as cache directory)
are in phpThumb.config.php - this is the only file you
should ever modify.
The configuration file is distributed as
phpThumb.config.php.default to prevent accidental
overwriting of old configuration settings. Please
migrate your old settings to the new file (if upgrading),
delete your old config and rename the default to
phpThumb.config.php
The amount of memory required for phpThumb depends on
several factors: the dimensions of the source image,
the dimensions of the output image, whether unsharp
masking is applied, whether watermarks are applied, etc.
The auto-detection of memory limits works as a general
"safe" value. You may be able to exceed the auto value
by a small or large amount, depending on whether you
apply watermarks and/or sharpening, and the output size
of your thumbnails. I do not currently have a reliable
formula for calculating such things, but I will attempt
to craft one for future versions of phpThumb(). Until
then, set "max_source_pixels" in phpThumb.config.php to a
value that works well for you (or leave it alone if the
defaults give you no problems).
The configuration options you should maybe modify are:
* cache_directory - thumbnailing is slow and processor-
intensive. Enabling caching will dramatically speed
up future thumbnail serving
* max_source_pixels - This should be auto-detected, but
if auto-detection fails and you get an invalid image
from large source images, set this to about 20% of
your available PHP memory limit.
* imagemagick_path - If the source image is larger than
max_source_pixels allows, but ImageMagick is available
phpThumb() will use it to generate the thumbnail.
Calling as an object (not using phpThumb.php):
To use a database rather than physical files, or to
render output to a file instead of the browser, you
should skip phpThumb.php and instantiate your own
phpThumb() object as follows:
// create new phpThumb() object
require_once('phpthumb.class.php');
$phpThumb = new phpThumb();
// set data
$phpThumb->setSourceFilename($image_filename);
// or $phpThumb->setSourceData($binary_image_data);
// or $phpThumb->setSourceImageResource($gd_image_resource);
// set parameters (see "URL Parameters" below)
$phpThumb->w = 100;
// set options (see phpThumb.config.php)
// here you must preface each option with "config_"
$phpThumb->config_output_format = 'jpeg';
// Set error handling (optional)
$phpThumb->config_error_die_on_error = false;
// generate & output thumbnail
if ($phpThumb->GenerateThumbnail()) {
$phpThumb->OutputThumbnail();
// or
//if (!$phpThumb->RenderToFile($filename)) {
//// do something with debug/error messages
//echo 'Failed: '.implode("\n", $phpThumb->debugmessages);
//}
} else {
// do something with debug/error messages
echo 'Failed: '.implode("\n", $phpThumb->debugmessages);
}
If you want to change any of the configuration parameters
(see phpThumb.config.php) you can change them like this:
$phpThumb->config_<variable_name> = <value>
for example:
$phpThumb->config_output_format = 'jpeg';
Note: If you want to loop through and create multiple
thumbnails from different image sources, you should
create and dispose an instance of phpThumb() each time
through the loop and not reuse the object.
Note: phpThumb.php is where the caching code is located, if
you instantiate your own phpThumb() object that code is
bypassed and it's up to you to handle the reading and
writing of cached files.
Note: High-Security mode is recommended enabled if possible.
Set $PHPTHUMB_CONFIG['high_security_enabled'] in
phpThumb.config.php to enable it. Each call to phpThumb
needs to be made through the function supplied at the
bottom of phpThumb.config.php which create the hash:
require_once('phpThumb.config.php');
echo '<img src="'.phpThumbURL('src=pic.jpg&w=50').'">';
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
URL Parameters:
src = filename of source image
new = create new image, not thumbnail of existing image.
Requires "w" and "h" parameters set.
[ex: &new=FF0000|75] - red background, 75% opacity
Set to hex color string of background. Opacity is
optional (defaults to 100% opaque).
w = max width of output thumbnail in pixels
h = max height of output thumbnail in pixels
wp = max width for portrait images
hp = max height for portrait images
wl = max width for landscape images
hl = max height for landscape images
ws = max width for square images
hs = max height for square images
f = output image format ("jpeg", "png", or "gif")
q = JPEG compression (1=worst, 95=best, 75=default)
sx = left side of source rectangle (default = 0)
(values 0 < sx < 1 represent percentage)
sy = top side of source rectangle (default = 0)
(values 0 < sy < 1 represent percentage)
sw = width of source rectangle (default = fullwidth)
(values 0 < sw < 1 represent percentage)
sh = height of source rectangle (default = fullheight)
(values 0 < sh < 1 represent percentage)
zc = zoom-crop. Will auto-crop off the larger dimension
so that the image will fill the smaller dimension
(requires both "w" and "h"). Set "zc=1" to enable.
(overrides both "iar" and "far")
bg = background hex color (default = FFFFFF)
bc = border hex color (default = 000000)
fltr = filter system. Call as an array as follows:
- "gam" (Gamma Correction) [ex: &fltr[]=gam|<value>]
where <value> can be a number >0 to 10+ (default 1.0)
Must be >0 (zero gives no effect). There is no max,
although beyond 10 is pretty useless. Negative
numbers actually do something, maybe not quite the
desired effect, but interesting nonetheless.
- "ds" (DeSaturate) [ex: &fltr[]=ds|<value>]
where <value> is a number between zero (no change)
and 100 (complete desaturation -- grayscale), or it
can be a negative number for saturation boost.
- "gray" (Grayscale) [ex: &fltr[]=gray]
this is an alias for 100% desaturation
- "clr" (Colorize) [ex: &fltr[]=clr|<value>|<color>]
where <value> is a number between 0 and 100 for the
amount of colorization, and <color> is the hex color
to colorize to.
- "sep" (Sepia) [ex: &fltr[]=sep|<value>|<color>]
where <value> is a number between 0 and 100 for the
amount of colorization (default=50), and <color> is
the hex color to colorize to (default=A28065).
- "usm" (UnSharpMask) [ex: &fltr[]=usm|<a>|<r>|<t>]
where <a> is the amount (default = 80), <r> is the
radius (default = 0.5), <t> is the threshold
(default = 3).
- "blur" (Blur) [ex: &fltr[]=blur|<radius>]
where (0 < <radius> < 25) (default = 1)
- "lvl" (Levels) [ex: &fltr[]=lvl|<channel>|<min>|<max>
where <channel> can be one of 'r', 'g', 'b', 'a' (for
Red, Green, Blue, Alpha respectively), or '*' for all
channels based on average grayscale value (default).
<min> and <max> are the clip points for the levels
and are set to clip 0.1% of each end by default.
(range = 0-255) and are set to clip 0.1% of each end
by default. Use -1 for min and/or max to invoke auto-
detect mode. Using default parameters (&fltr[]=lvl)
is similar to Auto Contrast in Adobe Photoshop.
- "wb" (White Balance) [ex: &fltr[]=wb|<c>]
where <c> is the target hex color to white balance
on, this color is what "should be" white, or light
gray. The filter attempts to maintain brightness so
any gray color can theoretically be used. If <c> is
omitted the filter guesses based on brightest pixels
in each of RGB
- "hist" (Histogram)
[ex: &fltr[]=hist|<b>|<c>|<w>|<h>|<a>|<o>|<m>]
Where <b> is the color band(s) to display, from back
to front (one or more of "rgba*" for Red Green Blue
Alpha and Grayscale respectively);
<c> is a semicolon-seperated list of hex colors to
use for each graph band (defaults to FF0000, 00FF00,
0000FF, 999999, FFFFFF respectively);
<w> and <h> are the width and height of the overlaid
histogram in pixels, or if <= 1 then percentage of
source image width/height;
<a> is the alignment (same as for "wmi" and "wmt");
<o> is opacity from 0 (transparent) to 100 (opaque)
(requires PHP v4.3.2, otherwise 100% opaque);
<m> is the edge (and inter-tile) margin in percent
- "over" (OVERlay/underlay image) overlays an image on
the thumbnail, or overlays the thumbnail on another
image (to create a picture frame for example)
[ex: &fltr[]=over|<i>|<u>|<m>|<o>]
where <i> is the image filename; <u> is "0" (default)
for overlay the image on top of the thumbnail or "1"
for overlay the thumbnail on top of the image; <m> is
the margin - can be absolute pixels, or if < 1 is a
percentage of the thumbnail size [must be < 0.5]
(default is 0 for overlay and 10% for underlay);
<o> is opacity (0 = transparent, 100 = opaque)
(requires PHP v4.3.2, otherwise 100% opaque);
(thanks raynerapeØgmail*com, shabazz3Ømsu*edu)
- "wmi" (WaterMarkImage)
[ex: &fltr[]=wmi|<f>|<a>|<o>|<m>] where
<f> is the filename of the image to overlay;
<a> is the alignment (one of BR, BL, TR, TL, C,
R, L, T, B, *) where B=bottom, T=top, L=left,
R=right, C=centre, *=tile);
<o> is opacity from 0 (transparent) to 100 (opaque)
(requires PHP v4.3.2, otherwise 100% opaque);
<m> is the edge (and inter-tile) margin in percent
- "wmt" (WaterMarkText)
[ex: &fltr[]=wmt|<t>|<s>|<a>|<c>|<f>|<o>|<m>|<n>]
where:
<t> is the text to use as a watermark;
<s> is the font size (1-5 for built-in font, or point
size for TrueType fonts);
<a> is the alignment (one of BR, BL, TR, TL, C, R, L,
T, B, * where B=bottom, T=top, L=left, R=right,
C=centre, *=tile);
<c> is the hex color of the text;
<f> is the filename of the TTF file (optional, if
omitted a built-in font will be used);
<o> is opacity from 0 (transparent) to 100 (opaque)
(requires PHP v4.3.2, otherwise 100% opaque);
<m> is the edge (and inter-tile) margin in percent;
<n> is the angle
(thanks mailØmmjaeger*com)
- "flip" [ex: &fltr[]=flip|x or &fltr[]=flip|y]
flip image on X or Y axis
- "elip" [ex: &fltr[]=elip]
similar to rounded corners but more extreme
- "mask" [ex: &fltr[]=mask|filename.png]
greyscale values of mask are applied as the alpha
channel to the main image. White is opaque, black
is transparent.
- "bvl" (BeVeL) [ex: &fltr[]=bvl|<w>|<c1>|<c2>]
where <w> is the bevel width, <c1> is the hex color
for the top and left shading, <c2> is the hex color
for the bottom and right shading
- "bord" (BORDer) [ex: &fltr[]=bord|<w>|<rx>|<ry>|<c>
where <w> is the width in pixels, <rx> and <ry> are
horizontal and vertical radii for rounded corners,
and <c> is the hex color of the border
- "fram" (FRAMe) draws a frame, similar to "bord" but
more configurable
[ex: &fltr[]=fram|<w1>|<w2>|<c1>|<c2>|<c3>]
where <w1> is the width of the main border, <w2> is
the width of each side of the bevel part, <c1> is the
hex color of the main border, <c2> is the highlight
bevel color, <c3> is the shadow bevel color
- "drop" (DROP shadow)
[ex: &fltr[]=drop|<d>|<w>|<clr>|<a>]
where <d> is distance from image to shadow, <w> is
width of shadow fade (not yet implemented), <clr> is
the hex color of the shadow, and <a> is the angle of
the shadow (default=225)
file = if set then thumbnail will be rendered to this
filename, not output and not cached.
(Deprecated. Disabled by default since v1.6.0.
You should instantiate your own object instead)
goto = URL to redirect to after rendering image to file
* Must begin with "http://"
* Requires file parameter set
(Deprecated. Disabled by default since v1.6.0.
You should instantiate your own object instead)
err = custom error image filename instead of showing
error messages (for use on production sites)
md5s = MD5 hash of the source image -- if this parameter is
passed with the hash of the source image then the
source image is not checked for existance or
modification and the cached file is used (if
available). If 'md5s' is passed an empty string then
phpThumb.php dies and outputs the correct MD5 hash
value. This parameter is the single-file equivalent
of 'cache_source_filemtime_ignore_*' configuration
paramters
xto = EXIF Thumbnail Only - set to only extract EXIF
thumbnail and not do any additional processing
ra = Rotate by Angle: angle of rotation in degrees
positive = counterclockwise, negative = clockwise
ar = Auto Rotate: set to "x" to use EXIF orientation
stored by camera. Can also be set to "l" or "L"
for landscape, or "p" or "P" for portrait. "l"
and "P" rotate the image clockwise, "L" and "p"
rotate the image counter-clockwise.
aoe = Output Allow Enlarging - override the setting for
$CONFIG['output_allow_enlarging'] (1=on, 0=off)
("far" and "iar" both override this and allow output
larger than input)
iar = Ignore Aspect Ratio - disable proportional resizing
and stretch image to fit "h" & "w" (which must both
be set). (1=on, 0=off) (overrides "far")
far = Force Aspect Ratio - image will be created at size
specified by "w" and "h" (which must both be set).
(1=on, 0=off)
maxb = MAXimum Byte size - output quality is auto-set to
fit thumbnail into "maxb" bytes (compression
quality is adjusted for JPEG, bit depth is adjusted
for PNG and GIF)
down = filename to save image to. If this is set the
browser will prompt to save to this filename rather
than display the image
Additional Object-only configuration variables:
rawImageData = binary data of source image, for example
if the source data is from a database. Set
this value instead of setting "src".
General Notes:
* Always use the local image filename wherever possible
rather than a full http:// URL because performance is
much better, less (or no) use of temp files, and the
last-modified check for cached files doesn't work for
remote files.
* Thumbnails will be scaled proportionately to fit in a
box of at most (width * height) pixels
(unless "iar" is set)
* Thumbnail caching for URL or database sources requires
an absolute directory name for $config_cache_directory
Physical file cached thumbnails will be recreated if
the source file changes, but remote/database files
cannot (modification time isn't readily available)
* If you need a GUI interface to phpThumb(), or for a user
to specify crop settings, or something like that please
see the list of known programs in /demo/readme.demos.txt
* Cropping images can be specified with either exact pixel
values for sx/sy/sw/sh parameters, or if those are set
to a value >0 and <1 then these are interpreted as a
percentage of the source image width/height. For example,
to crop 25% off all sides, you would specify parameters:
phpThumb.php?src=pic.jpg&sx=.25&sy=.25&sw=.5&sh=.5
* phpThumb() may have tempfile access issues on servers
where Safe Mode is enabled, specificly when accessing
a file over HTTP, or when a non-bundled version of GD
is in use. Specifying "config_temp_directory" may help
* Properly resolving /~user/ style filenames requires
apache_lookup_uri(), which is missing or broken in
Apache2, or if PHP is not installed as an Apache module.
phpThumb() does try and work around this if it is
unavailble, but you may have to specify a full filename
for "src" if you encounter problems.
* phpThumb() should work with PHP v4.0.6+, but seems to
have a few quirks before v4.1.0
EXIF thumbnail extraction requires PHP v4.2.0+
Image rotation requires PHP v4.3.0+. There have been
reports of problems with PHP older than v4.3.3
* phpThumb() works with GD v1.x, but works better with
GD v2.0+ because of the true-color image support
and ImageCopyResampled(). Also, there appears to be a
bug in ImageCopyResized() which is used with GD v1.x
where the bottom and/or right line of pixels is set
to the background color (due to a rounding error?)
NOTE: Please use the bundled version of GD if at all
possible (with PHP v4.3.0+) because the non-bundled
version has bugs which may cause PHP to crash:
* http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=21518
* http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=24174
phpThumb() has a workaround for the above bug but
there may be other bugs, and the workaround is slow.
Most (if not all) filters require GD v2.x to function
at all.
