[…] In addition, the Image_Transform library offers diffferent ways (to skin the old cat) to resize an image - by given pixel value, only on the X axis, on Y, scalling in percentage and so on. And, of course, the library can do much more than resizing, as you can see in the API docs.4 […]

Hi.
Sorry for the perheps dumb question, but I'm really having troubles with using PEAR libraries since I'm not good at all at OOP.
So when trying to use Image_Transform it tells me "Image library not supported… aborting".
Could you explain how to fix it?

I suppose that the problem is in the way the PEAR is installed at my web-site.
I don't know if it is installed at my host, so at some foums I was suggested just to place it in a local folder at my web-site and just include it to my pages.
The PEAR extantions I 'plug' in the same way.
Do you think there's any better solution?

Right on man. The best coders are lazy coders. Thanks for the tip!

@Jamees

is your image library avaliable?
was planning to use Pear, but I agree it is a little basic.

@Marc

I found many of PEAR's libraries to be lacking in substance. For image transformation, i have my own lib. As for the case that you pointed out, the code using my lib would be this:

$img = Momo_Image::load('test.png');
$resized = Momo_Image::resize($img, array('width' => 500)); // It'll figure out the height by proportion
$cropped = Momo_Image::crop($resized, array('start_x' => 10, 'start_y' => 100, 'width' => 200, 'height' => 300)); // If you omit start_x or start_y, they will default to 0
Momo_Image::render($cropped, array('file_path' => 'path/to/file.png'));

I avoid Object Oriented Programming for all of my libraries. Makes my life easier when refactoring.

One drawback I find disturbing about this package is that you can only do one tranformation per image/object. When you want to do a resize and then a crop you get a notice that only one transformation is allowed, if I remember correctly.
