resize animated gif?!

Hi,

Can you help me to resize an animated gif to a little size? (tumbnailing with PHP)
I want to have an animated gif after resizing...

Regards,
David Gates.

Good luck -- I don't think GD supports this (atleast not in PHP). You might look at the ImageMagik library and a custom class but I don't believe there are any functions for resizing animated gifs.

ImageMagick can easily do that

[eluser]M A F I A[/eluser]
ImageMagick?

I hadn't worked with this. Can you give me a PHP code to do that?
(I'm sorry for my VERY BAD English lang.)

Thank you Base Willy,
Found This on IM forums:

Hi,

First of all you have to take the total images in that animated gif and have to resize each image in the sequence in following manner:

for($i=0;$i<=$loop;$i++)
{
MagickSetImageIndex($mgck_wnd,$i);
//$mgck_wnd=MagickTransformImage($mgck_wnd,null,$geometry);
MagickScaleImage($mgck_wnd,$width,$height);
}

Can you test this and tell me what happened?

My server doesn't support IM.
Can you introduce me a free webhosting that support IM?
I want to see if this is my answer, change my webhosting.

You're welcome.
With image magick you can resize an image with one simple command, like exec("convert big_image.gif -resize 50x50 small_image.gif"), and it will keep the animation.
Sorry but I can't suggest you any hosting with IM because I don't know any and got used to use my own server So you gonna have to find it yourself.
Good luck!

Thank you.

I found 110mb.com.
It support IM, But exec() function has disabled for security reasons.
Is there any way to do that?
Here is the page that I used that code:

The other way is using php extension to work with IM but I don't know if it's installed there and haven't worked with it, command line is easy enough.

Can you give an example to me?
Or...
Can you test this code on your own server and send me the result in the browser in a zip file with images and html?

Code:

<?PHP exec("convert image.gif -resize 234x30 img.gif"); ?>
<img src="image.gif"><br><img src="img.gif">

The image is here: http://bacheteroon.110mb.com/image.gif

Thanks.
