image_lib->crop()

Verified, using the same variable to redisplay the image "on success".

I can accomplish the resize functionality just fine, just the crop code seems to do nothing. I'm wondering if maybe it was a typo in the documentation?

It does seem to be missing something ... the reason I say this is...

It gets a X axis, it gets a Y axis, but it doesn't get a height and width to base the other two points for a crop off of. I just don't under stand how the code would know unless it assumes you are cropping a specific size.


And it seems this is the case ... inside the image_process_gd function in the Image_lib.php libarary file ... line 448:

line 453:

Code:

// If the target width/height match the source, AND if the new file name is not equal to the old file name
        // we'll simply make a copy of the original with the new name... assuming dynamic rendering is off.
        if ($this->dynamic_output === FALSE)
        {
            if ($this->orig_width == $this->width AND $this->orig_height == $this->height)            
            {
                 if ($this->source_image != $this->new_image)
                 {
                    if (@copy($this->full_src_path, $this->full_dst_path))
                    {
                        @chmod($this->full_dst_path, DIR_WRITE_MODE);
                    }
                }
                
                return TRUE;
            }
        }

So the if statement on line 472 never gets execture because you didn't set a height and width.

RESOLVED:

Despite documentation had to set height and width and the maintain ratio to false ... my workign code looks like this:

Code:

function crop(){
        $config['image_library'] = 'gd2';
        $config['source_image'] = $this->session->flashdata('file');
        $config['x_axis'] = $_POST['x'];
        $config['y_axis'] = $_POST['y'];
        $config['height'] = $_POST['h'];
        $config['width'] = $_POST['w'];
        $config['maintain_ratio'] = FALSE;
        
        $this->load->library('image_lib');
        $this->image_lib->initialize($config);
        if ( ! $this->image_lib->crop())
        {
            echo $this->image_lib->display_errors();
        }
        echo '<img src="'.substr($config['source_image'],1).'" />';
        
        
    }
