I have received many requests from my readers to write something on image crop in php, so today I am going to write this tutorial on Codinghelptech how to crop images with jQuery and PHP. I have used jCrop javascript library to perform this task with PHP its a very easy to implement and very useful for thumbnail generation. Hope you love this tutorial.

PHP Methods to save image:

<?php
$targ_w = $targ_h = 150;
$jpeg_quality = 90;

$src = 'demo_files/pool.jpg';
$img_r = imagecreatefromjpeg($src);
$dst_r = ImageCreateTrueColor( $targ_w, $targ_h );

imagecopyresampled($dst_r,$img_r,0,0,$_POST['x'],$_POST['y'],
$targ_w,$targ_h,$_POST['w'],$_POST['h']);

header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
imagejpeg($dst_r,null,$jpeg_quality);
?>

This will simply show image on crop if you want to save that image in some directory then make changes in last two line as below.

//header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
imagejpeg($dst_r,PATH_TO_SAVE_IMAGE,$jpeg_quality);

Javascript Configurations:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function(){
    $(\'#cropbox\').Jcrop({
    aspectRatio: 1,
    onSelect: updateCoords,
//    minSize:[200,200], start minimum image size
//    maxSize:[200,200], max size should be...
    });
});
</script>
