Description

resource imagescale ( resource $image , int $new_width [, int $new_height = -1 [, int $mode = IMG_BILINEAR_FIXED ]] )

imagescale() scales an image using the given interpolation algorithm.

Parameters

image

An image resource, returned by one of the image creation functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor().

new_width

The width to scale the image to.

new_height

The height to scale the image to. If omitted or negative, the aspect ratio will be preserved.

Caution

You should always provide the height if using PHP 5.5.18 or earlier, or PHP 5.6.2 or earlier, as the aspect ratio calculation was incorrect.

Return Values

Return the scaled image resource on success or FALSE on failure.

Changelog

5.5.19/5.6.3 The calculation of the height if new_height was negative or omitted was fixed; prior to these versions, the aspect ratio was not maintained correctly.
