Try It Out - Resizing Images

The first thing we need to do is to create our script malldetail.php: 

<?php
//malldetail.php
include "./common_db.inc";
$link_id = db_connect('mapping');
$query = "SELECT * FROM mall WHERE m_id=".$id;
$mallResult = mysql_query($query,$link_id) or die($query);
$mallRow = mysql_fetch_array($mallResult);
?>
<HTML>
  <HEAD><TITLE><?php echo $mallRow[1]; ?></TITLE></HEAD>
  <BODY>
    <H3><?php echo $mallRow[3]; ?></H3>
    <TABLE BORDER="0" WIDTH="500">
      <TR>
        <TD VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="100">
        <IMG SRC="showmall.php?show=<?php echo $mallRow[0]; ?>&
                               thumbnail=on" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="100">
        <TD VALIGN="TOP">
        <TABLE BORDER="0" WIDTH="300">
          <TR>
            <TD><b>Shop Number:</b><br> <?php echo $mallRow[2]; ?></br></TD>
            <TD><b>Phone Number:</b><br> <?php echo $mallRow[4]; ?></br></TD>
          </TR>
          <TR>
            <TD COLSPAN="2"><b>Keywords:</b><br>
              <?php echo $mallRow[7]; ?>
            </br></TD>
          </TR>
        </TABLE>
      </TD></IMG></TD></TR>
    </TABLE>
    <A HREF="javascript:history.back()">Return</A>
  </BODY>
</HTML>

We then have to modify our showmall.php script to handle thumbnails: 

<?php
//showmall2.php
include "./common_db.inc";
Header("Content-type: image/png");
if ($show!="") {
   $image = ImageCreateFromPNG("groundfloor.png");
   $shops = explode(",", urldecode($show));
   $link_id = db_connect('mapping');
   $gray = ImageColorAllocate($image,204,204,204);
   for ($x=0;$x<count($shops);$x++) {
      $query = "SELECT m_area,m_center FROM mall WHERE m_id=".$shops[$x];
      $mallResult = mysql_query($query,$link_id);
      $mallRow = mysql_fetch_array($mallResult);
      $center = explode(",",$mallRow[1]);
      ImageFill($image,$center[0],$center[1],$gray);
   }
} else {
   $image = ImageCreate(100,50);
   $white = ImageColorAllocate($image,255,255,255);
   $black = ImageColorAllocate($image,0,0,0);
   ImageString($image,5,1,1,"Error",$black);
}
if ($thumbnail=="on") {
   $thumb = ImageCreate(100,100);
   ImageCopyResized($thumb,$image,0,0,0,0,100,100,500,500);
   ImagePNG($thumb);
} else {
   ImagePNG($image);
}
ImageDestroy($image);
?>

When we run our script we should this sort of result:

How It Works

Malldetail.php writes out an HTML file that contains the information about the shop, as well as a thumbnail image of the mall layout. This is the line that creates the image: 

<IMG SRC="showmall.php?show=<?php echo $mallRow[0]; ?>&thumbnail=on" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="100">

This is almost exactly as we've seen before; the only difference is that the script has the extra argument of thumbnail=on. In showmall.php we now check whether to output a thumbnail or the full size image. All we need to change is the line: 

ImagePNG($image);
<para>We check for the value of $thumbnail, and if it's 'on' we resize the mall plan from its original dimensions of 500x500 to a more compact 100x100:
</para>
if ($thumbnail=="on") {
   $thumb = ImageCreate(100,100);
   ImageCopyResized($thumb,$image,0,0,0,0,100,100,500,500);
   ImagePNG($thumb);
} else {
   ImagePNG($image);
}

If the $thumbnail variable isn't set (or is set to anything other than "on") we display the image as normal.
