Hi Speak-Up, and welcome ot the board!
The reason you're getting a blank page shown is because you're trying to access the class directly - you cannot do that. A class first needs to be initiated (using the 'new' constructor) and assigned to a variable, through which you can then use the methods of the class.
Check out the test.dropshadow.php class and you'll see this text:
| PHP: | <?php
require "class.dropshadow.php";
$ds = new dropShadow(FALSE);
$ds->setShadowPath('./shadows/');
$ds->loadImage('./images/test.jpg');
$ds->resizeByPercent(50, 0);
$ds->applyShadow('CCCCCC');
$ds->showShadow('png');
?> |
First you include the class file (the 'require' line.) Then you have to create an instance of that class (the 'new dropShadow' line), and then you can use whatever methods you want in that class. Obviously you will want to change the options, or call different functions, or whatever. But that should give you a starting point.
As for GD for windows - it should come in the PHP zip package (don't think it comes with the installer.) You'll want to use gd2.dll, I think is the file name. Don't forget to update your php.ini file for it!

Thanks very much! I'm glad that you've got it working and you like it.
If you're a user of the websites HotScripts.com or PHPClasses.org (links to the left of the browser), then perhaps you could go there and rate the scripts of mine you use? It'd be appreciated!
Cheers, and happy image manipulating!

Well, if you are always wanting it the same size, the same location, etc., then you could just extend the drop shadow class with your own, and then call that. You would set up one little class that sets all the defaults and then use the file name you pass to call that class with. For example (and I'm winging this, so there may be some mistakes and you may have to tweak it to suit your own needs):
| PHP: | <?php
require 'class.dropshadow.php';
class myThumbs extends dropShadow
{
function myThumbs($file)
{
// set up the image
$this->setShadowPath('./shadows/');
$this->loadImage($file);
// obviously you do what you need to here
$this->resizeByPercent(50, 0);
$this->applyShadow('CCCCCC');
// I'm saving, but you could show, or whatever else
$this->saveShadow('png');
}
}
$thumb = new myThumbs($_GET['file']);
?> |
As I'm applying the shadow there I use the saveShadow function. If I were just wanting to resize and save, then I'd use the saveFinal function.
Of course, you could add more functionality to that using the drop shadow class as your base class, and some checks your could throw in there. But that should give you and over all idea on how to start.

Groovy! Is that you? Btw, like the live chat phpBB mod on your website - where'd you find that?
