I am getting the below error

Fatal error: Call to undefined method PEAR_Error::load() in /home/knowtho2/public_html/new1/photos/upload_file.php on line 41

code : $i->load(‘test.jpg’);

Am I missing any pear or Image libraries?

I was googl’ing and found the same Digg discussion you were talking about – and the first thing that came to my mind was ‘doesn’t PEAR do this?’… and then I stumbled on this post

Nice code lines I myself use exactley the same method! PEAR is great but if you like OO programming check out Zend Framework! (http://framework.zend.com/) It is a superb collection of classes and I risk that is better than PEAR.

And Jim: That’s cool to provide such service but when it comes to sensitive data you cannot really afford to outsource your image data processing. On the other hand resizing a picture (once at initial processing/adding to database etc) should not raise such a big CPU load. Taking that these libraryies are single threaded and a really lot of servers are multi-cored and users are resource limited if should not be a risk.
So I do not think it is a good idea to outsource image resize jobs. The optimal solution is still making your own cache of resized images and store image information in database.

Nice & short script … but
if you need simple PHP script to resize many images at once from command line, I have one. I also used ImageMagick tools, so PHP script will work without GD library. Hope this will help …

There is no need to host CPU-intensive thumbnailing scripts like this on your webserver anymore. Instead, you can use a specialized service for remote, on-demand image manipulation like SteadyOffload.

All you have to do is use a custom HTML attribute called “xmanip” with the img tag. This will deliver the thumbnail from one of the globally scattered cache servers:

So much easier than all the hassle with GD or ImageMagick! Moreover, this reduces the CPU load of your webserver and saves some bandwidth.

[...] 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 [...]
