NetpbmResize yet another Image manipulation class for PHP

Published on Monday, 13 August 2007.

This is a shameless plug, if you are in need of an image resizing solution in PHP, you could try NetpbmResize. It uses NetPBM for resizing images. And since binaries for windows and linux are available it's just a matter of uploading them and start resizing. (^-)y

Things you should know

Apparently, ImageMagick has outstanding performance when resizing images compared to GD and NetPBM, so that should be your first choice.

Image manipulation alternatives

With so much classes, libraries and packages that provide image manipulation, I wonder why did I code this. My main reason was the interface, and secondly, learning and applying OOP in php.

Code that I checked and already does this: Code Igniter Image lib, ezNo ImageConversion.

And that is the beauty and horror of PHP software.
