For some reason the below function fails when the image is only slightly taller than it is wide. I think it's breaking when it gets to the crop bit:

Code:

function uploadHeaderImage($directory) {
    $CI =& get_instance();

    // Upload image
    $config['upload_path'] = $CI->config->item('live_server_path') . 'mbg/images/' . $directory . '/originals/';
    $config['allowed_types'] = 'jpg';
    $config['max_size']    = '6000';
    $CI->load->library('upload', $config);

    if (!$CI->upload->do_upload("cover"))
    {
        echo "Original: ".$CI->upload->display_errors();
        return false;
    }

    // Create various images sizes
    $CI->load->library('image_lib');
    $data = $CI->upload->data();
    $image_path = $data['full_path'];
    $extension = $data['file_ext'];

    $config['image_library'] = 'GD2';
    $config['source_image'] = $image_path;
    $config['maintain_ratio'] = TRUE;

    // Resize image
    $config['new_image'] = $CI->config->item('live_server_path') . 'mbg/images/' . $directory . '/' . $data['raw_name'] . $extension;
    $config['width'] = 590;
    $config['height'] = 2000;
    $CI->image_lib->initialize($config);

    if (!$CI->image_lib->resize()) {
        echo $CI->image_lib->display_errors();
        return false;
    }

    // Crop and make thumb
    $img_width = $data['image_width'];
    $img_height = $data['image_height'];
    $crop_ratio = ($img_width >= $img_height) ? $img_height/150 : $img_width/130;
    $config['new_image'] = $CI->config->item('live_server_path') . 'mbg/images/' . $directory . '/email/' . $data['raw_name'] . $extension;
    $config['width'] = 130 * $crop_ratio;
    $config['height'] = 150 * $crop_ratio;
    $config['x_axis'] = ($img_width - $config['width'])/2;
    $config['y_axis'] = ($img_height - $config['height'])/2;
    $config['maintain_ratio'] = FALSE;
    $CI->image_lib->initialize($config);
    if (!$CI->image_lib->crop()) {
        echo $CI->image_lib->display_errors();
        return false;
    }

    $CI->image_lib->clear();
    $config['image_library'] = 'GD2';
    $config['source_image'] = $CI->config->item('live_server_path') . 'mbg/images/' . $directory . '/email/' . $data['raw_name'] . $extension;
    $config['width'] = 130;
    $config['height'] = 150;
    $CI->image_lib->initialize($config);
    if (!$CI->image_lib->resize()) {
        echo $CI->image_lib->display_errors();
        return false;
    }

    return $data['raw_name'] . $extension;
}

Here's the error I get:

The path to the image is not correct

Your server does not support the GD function required to process this type of image.

Here's a sample image that makes it break: http://www.amillionthingstodo.com/ci/Hys...gogram.JPG

If I make that image just 100px wder or taller it works fine. Any ideas? This is kind of urgent.

I appreciate any help I can get.

Any ideas?

First, try changing:

Code:

$config['width'] = 130 * $crop_ratio;
$config['height'] = 150 * $crop_ratio;
$config['x_axis'] = ($img_width - $config['width'])/2;
$config['y_axis'] = ($img_height - $config['height'])/2;

to:

Code:

$config['width'] = floor(130 * $crop_ratio);
$config['height'] = floor(150 * $crop_ratio);
$config['x_axis'] = floor(($img_width - $config['width'])/2);
$config['y_axis'] = floor(($img_height - $config['height'])/2);

Because just testing out print_r for a "fake" $config array that I put into its own test file gave me:

Code:

Array ( [new_image] => fake image path [width] => 937 [height] => 1081.1538461538 [x_axis] => 0 [y_axis] => -8.5769230769231 [maintain_ratio] => )

It SEEMS that Image_lib.php already does this though (rounds), for the width and height. But you should do this at least to troubleshoot and see if it gets rid of your problem.

I can't seem to find info on whether or not the X and Y axes need to be an integer, and I can't find anywhere where the Image_lib actually rounds it, so you should definitely try this out, at least to troubleshoot.

Also, if you want, try to see if you can use $config['master_dim'] for what you're trying to do. You may be able to get rid of your own ratio code if you use that instead.

Thanks for the post! Unfortunately the rounding didn't take care of it.

The ratio calculations I have here are meant to crop the image from the center (instead of the top left) in the correct dimensions and then resize to 130x150.

Okay, so I think I figured it out.

Because each dimension is not being divided equally (w/130 and h/150) then it's not accurate to say:

Code:

$crop_ratio = ($img_width >= $img_height) ? $img_height/150 : $img_width/130;

... because I'm not dividing by the same number, so they shouldn't be treated equally.

SO, I changed it to this and it's now working correctly:

Code:

$crop_ratio = (($img_width/130) > ($img_height/150)) ? $img_height/150 : $img_width/130;
$config['width'] = floor(130 * $crop_ratio);
$config['height'] = floor(150 * $crop_ratio);

Oh.. duh. Sorry.

I've done crops exactly like that in other image gallery software, too, so now I feel really stupid for not noticing it.

You can remove the floor() from the height/width, too. The Image library does it more accurately by doing it last.

Glad you figured it out!

Awesome. Thank you for your help!
