In this post i would like to explain how to create thumbnails with respect to ratio of width and height. Rather than scaling images to create a thumbnails and we can reduce the page load time also. With simple code of php we can get the thumbnails of images.

PHP Code
<?php
function createThumbs( $pathToImages, $pathToThumbs, $thumbWidth )
{
// open the directory
$dir = opendir( $pathToImages );
// loop through it, looking for any/all JPG files:
while (false !== ($fname = readdir( $dir ))) {
// parse path for the extension
$info = pathinfo($pathToImages . $fname);
// continue only if this is a JPEG image
if ( strtolower($info['extension']) == 'jpg' )
{
echo "Creating thumbnail for {$fname} <br />";
// load image and get image size
$img = imagecreatefromjpeg( "{$pathToImages}{$fname}" );
$width = imagesx( $img );
$height = imagesy( $img );
// calculate thumbnail size
$new_width = $thumbWidth;
$new_height = floor( $height * ( $thumbWidth / $width ) );
// create a new temporary image
$tmp_img = imagecreatetruecolor( $new_width, $new_height );
// copy and resize old image into new image
imagecopyresized( $tmp_img, $img, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_width, $new_height, $width, $height );
// save thumbnail into a file
imagejpeg( $tmp_img, "{$pathToThumbs}{$fname}" );
}
}
// close the directory
closedir( $dir );
}
// call createThumb function and pass to it as parameters the path
// to the directory that contains images, the path to the directory
// in which thumbnails will be placed and the thumbnail's width.
// We are assuming that the path will be a relative path working
// both in the filesystem, and through the web for links
createThumbs("images/","images/thumb/",400);
?>
function createThumbs( $pathToImages, $pathToThumbs, $thumbWidth )
{
// open the directory
$dir = opendir( $pathToImages );
// loop through it, looking for any/all JPG files:
while (false !== ($fname = readdir( $dir ))) {
// parse path for the extension
$info = pathinfo($pathToImages . $fname);
// continue only if this is a JPEG image
if ( strtolower($info['extension']) == 'jpg' )
{
echo "Creating thumbnail for {$fname} <br />";
// load image and get image size
$img = imagecreatefromjpeg( "{$pathToImages}{$fname}" );
$width = imagesx( $img );
$height = imagesy( $img );
// calculate thumbnail size
$new_width = $thumbWidth;
$new_height = floor( $height * ( $thumbWidth / $width ) );
// create a new temporary image
$tmp_img = imagecreatetruecolor( $new_width, $new_height );

// save thumbnail into a file

}
}
// close the directory

createThumbs("images/","images/thumb/",400);
?>
Hope that it will be useful.
