HI first off all i love crop function second off all im a absolute newbie. I know javascript and that's it. Im wondering what GD is. Is it a program or something that you need to use the crop function. Second do you need to use the classes that you made to run your function. Im making a CMS for my site and thought it would be handy if you could crop pictures save them to your database and display them on your site.

Any suggestions

Thanx

Hi, Flying Dutchman, and welcome to the board!

As you're here, I'm guessing you have an understanding of what PHP is. Well, GD is a graphics library that can be interfaced with very easily through PHP. New versions of PHP (from 4.3.0) have the GD library already packaged with the source distribution. If you are running PHP on a windows platform and just downloaded the installation version of PHP, then the GD library comes pre-compiled and ready to use.

You can check whether or not you have GD installed (along with anything else that PHP has compiled in) by using the phpinfo function. Just create a file with this line in it:

Hi andy. First off all how was your trip to amsterdam?

Second i finally got round to implement your class. I doesn't give any erros. But i have a few questions. First one i iniately downloaded ur class from php classes.org. In the beginning of the script it said include class.cropcancas.php Then i downloaded ur class and after examinig the scripts i came to the conclusion that they are almost indentical. It probaly think its an older version.

Second in the demo of your class i see radiobuttons and such. I think i probaly have to echo them in php in javascript. Am i right. If so how do you go about on that. I now how to echo buttons and such, but how will make the connection with the functions

Third any hints in how i can include a resizing script in your class. Something that will decrease the size of the picture with 50%.

Oop been an idiot. I forget to check the rest of your page and i found the extended classes. Shocked

As to my other question about the resizing i found that one out on one of other classes. I guess your worthy of the title php guru.

As for my other question i kind off figured out of how to get the images that are stored on my website. But any hints how to approach those files the best way possible are welcome. When u save an image is it possible to save that image with the same name?

well thanx

Ok maybe i'm a little in the dark right now. Do you need to use the walter zorn script. You only use that one for the interactive drag and drop croping tool right?

So which classes do you actually need to use gor the other 1????

Please help me out?

Hi there,

First off; I had a wonderful time in Amsterdam, thanks! I'm looking forward to going back there sometime to investigate more. It rained all the time, but that's okay... I'm used to the BRitish weather, so a little downpour never hurt. Wink

Nice to hear u had a nice time in Amsterdam. Well i followed the instructions. The code doens't give a error. Now i have the problem. Namely the following. The interface i probally have to echo in php cause i made it in javascript. I used your dropshadow class aswell and i did the same there. But how do you tell the javascript part how to use the functions.
