NetpbmResize yet another Image manipulation class for PHP
Monday, August 13th, 2007 by Favio
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. (ñ_ñ)

Hey,
Are you going to take these classes?
They don’t all seem boring. Just that some of them are really boring.
Hopefully work isn’t rushing you over and overwhelming you.
Heh, I know it is to me.
More classes means more Homework. You hsould know that :P
