Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP >=8.1 Supported Image Libraries ------------------------- [](#supported-image-libraries) - GD Library (>=2.0) - Imagick PHP extension (>=6.5.7) --- Setup ----- [](#setup) The preferred way to install this extension is through [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/). If you do not have [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/), you may install it by following the instructions at [getcomposer.org](https://getcomposer.org/). Either run ``` composer require meriksk/php-image ``` or add ``` "meriksk/php-image": "~1.0" ``` to your composer.json and run composer update Usage ----- [](#usage) - [Open image](#open-image) - [Resize image](#resize-image) - [Crop image](#crop-image) Open image ---------- [](#open-image) Because this class uses namespacing, when instantiating the object, you need to either use the fully qualified namespace: ``` $image = new \meriksk\PhpImage\Image($filename); ``` or alias it: ``` use \meriksk\PhpImage\Image; $image = new Image($filename); ``` This class can use Imagick or GD extension - whichever is available. Imagick extension is preferred if is available. You can force the extension for manipulating images as follows: ``` $image = new Image($filename, Image::DRIVER_IMAGICK); ``` Save image ---------- [](#save-image) Library supports three formats of image: 'jpeg', 'png' and 'gif'. By default they quality is set to 75. When saving to disk or outputting into the browser, the script assumes the same output type and quality as input. ``` $image->save($filename); ``` Save in a different type to the source: ``` $image->save($filename, 60, 'png'); ``` Output image ------------ [](#output-image) To render the image directly into the browser, you can call: ``` $image->toScreen(60, 'png'); ``` Resize ------ [](#resize) resize ``` $image = $image->resize($width, $height, $allow_enlarge); ``` resize to width ``` $image = $image->resizeToWidth($width, $allow_enlarge); ``` resize to height ``` $image = $image->resizeToHeight($height, $allow_enlarge); ``` resize to best fit ``` $image = $image->resizeToBestFit($max_width, $max_height, $allow_enlarge); ``` resize to long side ``` $image = $image->resizeToLongSide($max, $allow_enlarge); ``` resize to short side ``` $image = $image->resizeToShortSide($max, $allow_enlarge); ``` Crop ---- [](#crop) manual crop ``` $image->crop($x, $y, $width, $height, $allow_enlarge); ``` automatic crop ``` $image->autoCrop($width, $height, $position); ``` Thumbnail --------- [](#thumbnail) ``` $image->thumbnail($width, $height, $fill, $allow_enlarge); ``` Rotate image ------------ [](#rotate-image) Rotating is counter clockwise; Rotate on 90 degrees: ``` $image->rotate(90); ``` Rotate on 45 degrees, and fill empty field with white color: ``` $image->rotate(45, '#FFFFFF'); ``` Flip image ---------- [](#flip-image) Flip in vertical direction: ``` $image->flip(); ``` Flip in horisontal direction: ``` $image->flip(Image::FLIP_HORIZONTAL); ``` Flip in both directions: ``` $image->flip(Image::FLIP_BOTH); ``` Filters ------- [](#filters) todo ### Health Score 38 — LowBetter than 85% of packages Maintenance83 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity11 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity44 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
