Codeigniter / image_lib forcing image size

Question

Hi,

I am resizing images using the image_lib library. I define a height and width, but most of the images I am trying to resize are already smaller. Is there a way to force the size and fill the rest with white, thus making all my images the same size?

Thanks

$config['source_image'] = 'abc.jpg';
$config['new_image'] = 'def.jpg';
$config['create_thumb'] = TRUE;
$config['maintain_ratio'] = TRUE;
$config['thumb_marker'] = '';
$config['width'] = 100;
$config['height'] = 100;
$this->image_lib->initialize($config);
$this->image_lib->resize();

Answer 1

dont think that is possible. however, when you print the images out in your view you could do so in a div with min-width and min-height. like that the image will take up the space you and trying to define while image resizing.

Hi, if your images are small dont try to make bigger, the CI library is not too good for this task, just make a trick with css like said stef.
