Crop Image Like Orkut
Online Photoshop in PHP (Series Part 4) >>

Today we will discuss about cropping of images using php and gd library.
Look at the simple example here:
http://www.sajithmr.com/photoshop-tuts/crop/simplecrop.php
$x1 = $_GET['x1'];
$y1 = $_GET['y1'];
$x2 = $_GET['x2'];
$y2 = $_GET['y2'];
$image_object = imagecreatefromjpeg('hari.jpg');
$image_cropped = Crop($image_object,$x1, $y1, $x2,$y2);
$temp_path = rand(1,99999)."hari.jpg";
imagejpeg( $image_cropped,$temp_path);
header('Location: simplecrop.php?img='.$temp_path );
?>
Here the Crop function is doing the real work. x1 and y1 are Top-Left Coordinates of new image and x2, y2 are the Bottom-Right .
Here is the function for Crop
function Crop($image, $xpos1,$ypos1,$xpos2,$ypos2)
{
require_once('class.cropcanvas.php');
$cc =& new CropCanvas();
$cc->loadImageFromObject($image);
$cc->cropToDimensions($xpos1, $ypos1, $xpos2,$ypos2 );
return $cc->getImageObject();
}
?>
You can see the class.cropcanvas.php file from the attachment.
In the above example, we have to enter each coordinates manually. See the example below:

Here you can select the area by click and drag (like orkut)
This is implemented with the help or jslib javascript. The given attachment in the end of this post contains the all.

Thanks…nice one
Someone should make a “facebook / flickr” style image tagging script based on this where you can tag people or interesting things in a photo. I’m sure the right person could do it!

Hi,
Really Very Nice Tutorial. This is exactly what i want.
Thank you so much.
Thanks for the code. Works Nice. Actually I was looking for a Orkut like photo upload script. If you have any like that, I would be highly thankful.
Very impressive!
I have a newbie question though. How would I lock the aspect ratio for the realcrop example (like 6×4 or 3×5)?
Thanks.
if i want to crop image in square mode then what function i have to change please reply fast
thanks
Harry, use this:
Event.observe(
window,
‘load’,
function() {
new Cropper.Img(
‘cropimage’,
{
onEndCrop: onEndCrop,
ratioDim:{x:7.6923,y:10},
}
)
}
);
Set the proportions to 1/1 in the “ratioDim” line.
