Simple Resize Model Function

Hi All,

I know people like to make there on code. But though would share my image_lib resize function

You will need to create a image folder in main directory. And also inside that image directory create a subfolder you could name it new_image folder or rename it to what you would like just remember to change it on model.

PHP Code:

<?php

class Model_image extends CI_Model {

    public function resize($filename, $width, $height) {

        $this->load->library('image_lib');

        $config['image_library'] = 'gd2';
         $config['source_image'] = FCPATH . 'image/' . $filename;
        $config['new_image'] = FCPATH . 'image/cache/' . $filename;
        $config['create_thumb'] = FALSE;
        $config['maintain_ratio'] = FALSE;
        $config['width'] = $width;
        $config['height'] = $height;

        $this->image_lib->initialize($config); 

        $this->image_lib->resize();

        if (file_exists(FCPATH . 'image/cache/'. $filename)) {
            return base_url('image/cache/'. $filename);
        }
    }
} 


Load the model on to a controller where need.

PHP Code:

$this->load->model('model_image');

$image = 'my_image.png';

$this->model_image->resize($image, 100, 100); 


There's only one rule - please don't tell anyone to go and read the manual.  Sometimes the manual just SUCKS!
