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.
make thumb using php with respect the ratio width and height | Anil Labs
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 ))) {

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 );

?>
Hope that it will be useful.
