Change this to a function?

[adamjblakey]

Hi,

I want to convert this into a function. How would i go about doing this?

[PHP]$path_thumbs = "images/thumbs";
$path_big = "images/big";

//the new width of the resized image.
$img_thumb_widt h = 150; // in pixcel

$extlimit = "yes"; //Do you want to limit the extensions of files uploaded (yes/no)
//allowed Extensions
$limitedext = array(".gif",". jpg",".png",".j peg",".bmp");


//check if folders are Writable or not
//please CHOMD them 777
if (!is_writeable( $path_thumbs)){
die ("Error: The directory <b>($path_thumb s)</b> is NOT writable");
}
if (!is_writeable( $path_big)){
die ("Error: The directory <b>($path_big )</b> is NOT writable");
}

//if the for has submittedd
if ($_POST){

$file_type = $_FILES['image']['type'];
$file_name = $_FILES['image']['name'];
$file_size = $_FILES['image']['size'];
$file_tmp = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];

//check if you have selected a file.
if(!is_uploaded _file($file_tmp )){
echo "Error: Please select a file to upload!. <br>--<a href=\"$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]\">back</a>";
exit(); //exit the script and don't do anything else.
}
//check file extension
$ext = strrchr($file_n ame,'.');
$ext = strtolower($ext );
if (($extlimit == "yes") && (!in_array($ext ,$limitedext))) {
echo "Wrong file extension. <br>--<a href=\"$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]\">back</a>";
exit();
}
//get the file extension.
$getExt = explode ('.', $file_name);
$file_ext = $getExt[count($getExt)-1];

//create a random file name
$rand_name = md5(time());
$rand_name= rand(0,99999999 9);
//get the new width variable.
$ThumbWidth = $img_thumb_widt h;

//keep image type
if($file_size){
if($file_type == "image/pjpeg" || $file_type == "image/jpeg"){
$new_img = imagecreatefrom jpeg($file_tmp) ;
}elseif($file_t ype == "image/x-png" || $file_type == "image/png"){
$new_img = imagecreatefrom png($file_tmp);
}elseif($file_t ype == "image/gif"){
$new_img = imagecreatefrom gif($file_tmp);
}
//list width and height and keep height ratio.
list($width, $height) = getimagesize($f ile_tmp);
$imgratio=$widt h/$height;
if ($imgratio>1){
$newwidth = $ThumbWidth;
$newheight = $ThumbWidth/$imgratio;
}else{
$newheight = $ThumbWidth;
$newwidth = $ThumbWidth*$im gratio;
}
//function for resize image.
if (function_exist s(imagecreatetr uecolor)){
$resized_img = imagecreatetrue color($newwidth ,$newheight);
}else{
die("Error: Please make sure you have GD library ver 2+");
}
imagecopyresize d($resized_img, $new_img, 0, 0, 0, 0, $newwidth, $newheight, $width, $height);
//save image
ImageJpeg ($resized_img," $path_thumbs/$rand_name.$fil e_ext");
ImageDestroy ($resized_img);
ImageDestroy ($new_img);
//print message
}

//upload the big image
move_uploaded_f ile ($file_tmp, "$path_big/$rand_name.$fil e_ext");

$imagename = "$rand_name.$fi le_ext";[/PHP]

Hi,

I would create a class then add the code as a function on that class. Then simply instantiate the class and reference call the function on the object:
[php]
class myObject
{
// property list
var $porperty1 ;
var $property2 ;
public function myObject($pPara 1, $pPara2)
{
$this->property1 = $pPara1 ;
$this->property2 = $pPara2 ;
}
function function1()
{
// your code goes here
}

}
[/php]
Then in the calling code:
[php]
<?php
function __autoload($pcC lassName)
{
require_once '../lib/' . $pcClassName . '.php' ;
}
session_start() ;
$loObject = new myObject("value 1", "value2") ; // the file name used must be myObject in this case

$loObject->function1() ;
?>
[/php]
If the function returns anything then the call should be $lvReturn = $this->fuction1();

I know this is only psuedo code but it should help.

PS a google search on PHP Object, or PHP functions should help too.

Thank you for your reply, i very much doubt i am at a level thought to write my own class.

Could someone please convert this to a class/function so i can use it?

Thank you for your reply, i very much doubt i am at a level thought to write my own class.

Why so negative about your own ability? Anyone can achieve anything they really set their mind to. Nine months ago I had never developed a web site, and now 'm using PHP classes and building full web systems. You can do this!

Could someone please convert this to a class/function so i can use it?

I've pretty much done this for you already. Take the code sample I gave you, save the class definition to a php file with the same name as the class - this is case sensitive.
Then where you want to use this class load the other lines I gave you.

It's that easy and I've already done more than most - this is a help forum not a have my code written for me forum.

Have a go at it and post back with specific problems when/if you get stuck - I'm happy to help.

Cheers
