Create thumbnail images in CodeIgniter by Anil Kumar Panigrahi
Create Thumbnail Function
function _createThumbnail($fileName) {
$config['image_library'] = 'gd2';
$config['source_image'] = 'uploads/' . $fileName;
$config['create_thumb'] = TRUE;
$config['maintain_ratio'] = TRUE;
$config['width'] = 75;
$config['height'] = 75;
$this->load->library('image_lib', $config);
if(!$this->image_lib->resize()) echo $this->image_lib->display_errors();
}
$config['image_library'] = 'gd2';
$config['source_image'] = 'uploads/' . $fileName;
$config['create_thumb'] = TRUE;
$config['maintain_ratio'] = TRUE;
$config['width'] = 75;
$config['height'] = 75;
$this->load->library('image_lib', $config);
if(!$this->image_lib->resize()) echo $this->image_lib->display_errors();
}
Call the above function like :
$this->_createThumbnail($fInfo['file_name']);
After creation of thumbnail clear the caches.
$this->image_lib->clear();
Hope that it will be useful.

Hello, your function needs to know where to save the thumbnail.
$config[‘new_image’] = ‘./thumbs_folder/’ . $fileName;
Thank you!

When we upload large size images on server. Uploaded large images take more time to load on webpage, so we need to show small size images on our webpage. Image thumbnail is a solution to generate uploaded image’s thumbnail to show required size images on our website.

Hey dude,
codeigniter by default resize the image with aspect ratio..
Example:
if I resize an image of 760 x 540 and gives height = width = 80 to resize function it generates thumbnail of 80 x 61 !!!!!
any suggestion or this???
can we use this method to create thumbnail /screenshort s of webpages?
like passing url in $file_path?
as I need to display the thumbnails of different websites,
thanks in advance
