In this post i would like to explain about how to create thumbnail images in codeigniter framework. In the following function will give the clear understand about the code.
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!

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
