imagecreatefromjpeg

(PHP 3 >= 3.0.16, PHP 4, PHP 5)

imagecreatefromjpeg -- 从 JPEG 文件或 URL 新建一图像

说明

resource imagecreatefromjpeg ( string filename )

imagecreatefromjpeg() 返回一图像标识符,代表了从给定的文件名取得的图像。

imagecreatefromjpeg() 在失败时返回一个空字符串,并且输出一条错误信息,不幸地在浏览器中显示为断链接。为减轻调试工作下面的例子会产生一个错误 JPEG

例子 1. 处理创建过程中的错误

<?php
function LoadJpeg($imgname)
{
    
$im = @imagecreatefromjpeg($imgname); /* Attempt to open */
    
if(!$im) { /* See if it failed */
        
$im  = imagecreatruecolor(150, 30); /* Create a blank image */
        
$bgc = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
        
$tc  = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
        
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 150, 30, $bgc);
        
/* Output an errmsg */
        
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, "Error loading $imgname", $tc);
    }
    return
$im;
}
?>

注: JPEG 支持仅在 PHP 与 GD-1.8 或更高版本一起编译时可用。

提示: 如果“fopen wrappers”已经被激活,则在本函数中可以把 URL 作为文件名来使用。请参阅 fopen() 函数来获取怎样指定文件名的详细信息以及支持 URL 封装协议的列表:附录 L

警告

Windows 版本的 PHP 在 4.3.0 版之前不支持本函数的远程文件访问,即使 allow_url_fopen 选项已被激活。

If imagecreatefromjpeg() fails with "PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function:  imagecreatefromjpeg()", it does NOT necessarily mean that you don't have GD installed.

If phpinfo() shows GD, but not JPEG support, then that's the problem.  You would think that --with-gd would do the right thing since it does check for the existance of libjpeg (and finds it) and add that feature to GD, but it doesn't in v4.4.4 at least on RHEL v2.1, RHEL v3, CentOS v2.1 or CentOS v4.3.

On those platforms, it's *important* that --with-jpeg-dir be *before* --with-gd.  If it's not, GD won't build with jpeg support as if --with-jpeg-dir had never been specified...

In a post by Angel Leon, an example script was given that forms a thumbnail gallery using imagecreatefromjpeg.  I am fairly new to php scripts, but I found that the script did not display the table of thumbnail images if the row wasn't "filled" with images.. i.e. if there were 5 images in the folder and the script specified 3 rows in the table, then the page would only display the thumbnails for the first row and only three images were shown.  I found that if you specified the variable row with this equation, then the table would display properly:

$row = intval(count($files)+($row_size-1));

(This is the first line in the createThumbTable function.)

regarding e dot a dot schultz at gmail dot com post

i tried the script (with the bugfixes posted later) and still got memorytrouble. most often it is still not enough memory to upload big images, even if it seems to calculate right. so this helped my perfectly:

$newLimit = $newLimit+3000000; (before passing it to the ini_set() function).

extremly simple and maybe not the best solution, but it works for now (you sure can give it less than an additional 3mb, just try what works for you).

It is worth noting that all of the imagecreate* functions quite intentionally do not look in the include_path

When working with uploaded jpeg files it is usually a good idea to execute a little but very useful program called jhead
( http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/jhead/ ).

This will clean up unnecessary jpeg header information which can cause trouble. Some cameras or applications write binary data into the headers which may result in ugly results such as strange colors when you resample the image later on.

Usage:
<?php
exec
("/path/to/jhead -purejpg /path/to/image");
// for example when you uploaded a file through a form, do this before you proceed:
exec("/path/to/jhead -purejpg ".$file['tmp_name']);
?>

I didn't have the chance to test this but I guess this might even solve the problem caused by images that were taken with Canon PowerShot cameras which crash PHP.

This is from the jhead documentation: "-purejpg: Delete all JPEG sections that aren't necessary for rendering the image. Strips any metadata that various applications may have left in the image."

jhead got some other useful options as well...

The prior script by "e dot a dot schultz at gmail dot com", have a bug

$memoryLimitMB don't have a value

Add
         $memoryLimitMB = 8;
Before
         $memoryLimit = 8 * $MB;
And change that line for:
         $memoryLimit = $memoryLimitMB * $MB;

--------------

Something similar happens with the script by "JohnBrook at pobox dot com"

$memoryLimit don't have a value

Change:

$memoryLimit = $memoryLimit * $MB;

For:
  $memoryLimit = $memoryLimitMB * $MB;

In John's human readable code version of Karolis code to dynimicly allocate need memory there are a few bugs. If you didn't compile with the "--enable-memory-limit" option, this script will error with a level E_ERROR. Bellow is a fixed version rapped as a function. To view replacement functions for memory_get_usage() look at http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.memory-get-usage.php

<?php
function setMemoryForImage( $filename ){
  
$imageInfo = getimagesize($filename);
  
$MB = 1048576// number of bytes in 1M
  
$K64 = 65536;    // number of bytes in 64K
  
$TWEAKFACTOR = 1.5// Or whatever works for you
  
$memoryNeeded = round( ( $imageInfo[0] * $imageInfo[1]
                                           *
$imageInfo['bits']
                                           *
$imageInfo['channels'] / 8
                            
+ $K64
                          
) * $TWEAKFACTOR
                        
);
  
//ini_get('memory_limit') only works if compiled with "--enable-memory-limit" also
   //Default memory limit is 8MB so well stick with that.
   //To find out what yours is, view your php.ini file.
  
$memoryLimit = 8 * $MB;
   if (
function_exists('memory_get_usage') &&
      
memory_get_usage() + $memoryNeeded > $memoryLimit)

Matt reported that PHP crashs using imagecreatefromjpeg() - that's true and it took me a lot of time to find the error - but not only the Canon PowerShot S70, also the Canon PowerShot  A400 lets PHP (5.1.2) crash, without any chance to catch it!

So I exclude all Canon PowerShot images with the following check:

   function check_canonpowershot($filename)
   {
       if (strpos(file_get_contents($filename), 'Canon PowerShot') !== false)
       {
           return true;
       }
       return false;
   }

Also, here is the same formula presented in a somewhat more human-readable way, if you'd rather:

<?php
$MB
= Pow(1024,2);  // number of bytes in 1M
$K64 = Pow(2,16);    // number of bytes in 64K
$TWEAKFACTOR = 1.8// Or whatever works for you
$memoryNeeded = round( ( $imageInfo[0] * $imageInfo[1]
                                       *
$imageInfo['bits']
                                       *
$imageInfo['channels'] / 8
                        
+ $K64
                      
) * $TWEAKFACTOR
                    
);
$memoryHave = memory_get_usage();
$memoryLimitMB = (integer) ini_get('memory_limit');
$memoryLimit = $memoryLimit * $MB;

if (
function_exists('memory_get_usage')
     &&
$memoryHave + $memoryNeeded > $memoryLimit
  
) {
  
$newLimit = $memoryLimitMB + ceil( ( $memoryHave
                                    
+ $memoryNeeded
                                    
- $memoryLimit
                                    
) / $MB
                                  
);
  
ini_set( 'memory_limit', $newLimit . 'M' );
}
?>

Additional note on allocating memory: The 1.65 in the formula provided below by yaroukh and Karolis is evidently a "fudge factor" arrived at through experimentation. I found that I had to nudge it up a little bit in order to accurately predict the memory that would be needed, otherwise the allocation still failed. In my case, I went right to 1.8 and that has worked so far. Your mileage may vary, so experiment as needed.

Hello Karolis

My solution was intended to solve situations when your webhoster puts a limit on the memory usage; in such a situations ini_set doesn't work ofcourse (even for variables that have 'PHP_INI_ALL' flag in a typical PHP-installation).

Have a nice day

In addition to yaroukh at gmail dot com comment.

It seems that even a small image can eat up your default memory limit real quick. Config value 'memory_limit' is marked PHP_INI_ALL, so you can change it dynamically using ini_set. Therefore, we can "allocate memory dynamically", to prevent those memory limit exceeded errors.

<?php

$imageInfo
= getimagesize('PATH/TO/YOUR/IMAGE');
$memoryNeeded = round(($imageInfo[0] * $imageInfo[1] * $imageInfo['bits'] * $imageInfo['channels'] / 8 + Pow(2, 16)) * 1.65);
                  
if (
function_exists('memory_get_usage') && memory_get_usage() + $memoryNeeded > (integer) ini_get('memory_limit') * pow(1024, 2)) {
                      
  
ini_set('memory_limit', (integer) ini_get('memory_limit') + ceil(((memory_get_usage() + $memoryNeeded) - (integer) ini_get('memory_limit') * pow(1024, 2)) / pow(1024, 2)) . 'M');
                      
}

In running 4.3. Found out that jpegs generated by Canon PowerShot S70's cause imagecreatefromjpeg() to crash PHP [page cannot be displayed]. Made this function to check for it:
<?php
function check_s70($filename) {
      
$thereturn = false;
      
$handle = fopen($filename, "r");
      
$contents = fread($handle, 159);
      
fclose($handle);
       if (
substr($contents, 156, 3) == "S70") {
          
$thereturn = true;
       }
       return
$thereturn;
   }

Estimated memory needed for ImageCreateFromJPEG

First I supposed simple width*height*bpp will be enough, it isn't though; there is some pretty big overhead.

$imageInfo = GetImageSize($imageFilename);
$memoryNeeded = Round(($imageInfo[0] * $imageInfo[1] * $imageInfo['bits'] * $imageInfo['channels'] / 8 + Pow(2, 16)) * 1.65);

With memory_limit enabled running out of memory causes script to crash; above written will tel you how much memory you're gonna need for creating an image-resource out of image-file. So in conjunction with Memory_Get_Usage() and Get_CFG_Var('memory_limit') you can avoid the mentioned ending. (Yet there won't be too many images blocked from processing that would still fit in the memory, as the results of this are pretty accurate.)

If you get this error: "Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg(): gd-jpeg: JPEG library reports unrecoverable error" then check the JPEG files. If they are saved in CMYK format (instead of RGB) then GD will fail to load them (tested with GD 2.0.12)

here is a code, inspired by the button of

but here, you can make as many buttons as you need by cutting the image in as many parts as defined in the table

$this -> im = $fileName;
      
      
//parameters
      
$font  = 10;

      
//cut the full image in X parts
       //X = the number of buttons you want
        
$imgFull=ImageCreateFromJPEG($this -> im);
         list(
$width, $heightFull, $type, $attr) = getimagesize($this -> im);
        
        
$height = round($heightFull/sizeof($this->tab_button),0);

      
       for (
$i=0;$i<sizeof($this->tab_button);$i++ ) {

          
$pos=$i*$height;

the check_jpeg function listed above has a small "bug" when u set $fix=true... after the fix, the function does not close the file... and the imagecreatefromjpeg would still crash on an open file.

   //# [070203]
   //# check for jpeg file header and footer - also try to fix it
   function check_jpeg($f, $fix=false ){
       if ( false !== (@$fd = fopen($f, 'r+b' )) ){
           if (fread($fd,2)==chr(255).chr(216) ){
               fseek ( $fd, -2, SEEK_END );
               if ( fread($fd,2)==chr(255).chr(217) ){
                   fclose($fd);
                   return true;
               }else{

I am using PHP 4.3.8 and GD 2.0.23-compatible, and this function does not return an empty string on failure as stated. This line:

<?php
var_dump
(imagecreatefromjpeg('bogus filename'));
?>

outputs:

bool(false)

Of course this doesn't matter unless you're using a strict comparison operator to evaluate the result, but I thought I'd point it out.

Under some configurations imagecreatefromjpeg will create files that are owned by the webserver rather than the php user. For example, php may be run as phpuser and the image will be created under apache.

This can lead to permissions problems - only a +0777 will be enough to be able to create a picture.

My solution was to chmod over ftp to 0777 just before the picture is written then change back to 0755 when the image has been created.

The alternative of course would be to have a properly configured system...

This is a very useful script when you have hundreds of images and you need a quick setup for a thumbnail, where you can select how many
pictures per row, size of the thumbnail, and the size of the pictures when clicked, all in one script. Just throw all your images and this script in a file named index.php or index.html (if your apache httpd.conf defaults to html and runs .html as php).

Script also contains simple text watermarking. See function thumbImage()
and modify to add image watermarking if you like.

Another thing to note, is the file not might actually be a jpeg , even though the filename ends in .jpg. If this is the case the command won't work. You will need imagecreatefromgif()

The easiest way to check is to use your favorite editor like vi.

On Line one it will tell you if its a gif or a jpg..

I took a quick look at a few image files. the gifs say GIF87a and the real jpegs should say JFIF or something like that.

I have to say recompiling PHP from the sources and enabling JPEG support in gd took me awhile to figure out.

Somewhere especially configure --help should have stated that --with-jpeg-dir is MANDATORY if you want to have JPEG support. And even if you did so, it doesn't mean you'll get it. If it's wrongly configured, no error is going to be output, all you get is "no JPEG support". What's more confusing is when JPEG support is disabled phpinfo won't say "JPEG Support: disabled", but just omit the entry so you won't even realize something is wrong.

If you recompile PHP or gd, make sure:
- rm -f config.cache FIRST
- make clean (this helps A LOT), actually you can just delete modules/gd.*, and every *.o in ext/gd. this part actually gave me the best headache
- ./configure --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib OR any other directory which contains the BINARY library of libjpeg
- make, make install

phpinfo should now display jpeg support... good luck.
(you lucky guys who already have PHP 5 installed on your server... you don't have to go through all the mess I had)

I made a script to produce, save, and use dynamic buttons simultaneously. If the file exists, it will be shown as usual. If not, this script produces a new image and saves it. You only need the background (back.jpg). Maybe it is useful for somone.

<?php

class Button {

   var
$ib = 'back.jpg';
   var
$im;

   function
Button ($fileName, $string) {
      
$this -> im = $fileName;
       if(!
file_exists($this -> im)) {
          
$this -> _createButton($string);
       }
   }
  
   function
getFileName() {
       return
$this -> im;
   }
  
   function
_createButton($string) {
      
$font  = 4;
      
$width  = max(400,(ImageFontWidth($font) * strlen($string)) + 4);
      
$height = max(20,(ImageFontHeight($font) + 4));
      
      
$imgBack=ImageCreateFromJPEG($this -> ib);
      
$imgText=ImageCreateTrueColor($width,$height);

The ImageCreateFromJPEG() function is capable of throwing an emalloc() error.  If this happens, the script will die, but the error will be in your error logs.  You should ensure that you have memory available before creating a large image from a jpeg file.

Concerning the path discussion. A relative path works just fine, if it is used properly. The thing is just to keep track of where in the file system you actually are calling the function from.

E.g. including file A into file B, and then executing file A. Now calls made in file B will act as if they actually are made file A, due to the inclusion. So a well designed filesystem is very important. Also moving a file might lead to this type of path related problems.

Hope this made any sence! :)

I have noticed that Nokia's old camera-phones create non-standard JPEG's.

Nokias' JPEG doesn't end with 0xFFD9. Add 0xFFD9 end of file and image works fine with imagecreatefromjpeg(). Willertan1980 already sent code to do that.

This function DOES accept paths in the filename, just make sure they're absolute paths.  A relative path won't work, at least it didn't for me. This is in response to jonlup's comment from june 25:

"I played with "imagecreatefromjpeg()" function and, after a few tests, I found that the filename that it requires as parameter should be only a simple filename: the function does not work if in the string of the filename is specified a path to that file."

here is my clear method to resize images
you can check how it works on http://www.jetevents.pl

<?php
   $maxx
=100;    // maximum width
  
$maxy=75;    // maximum height

  
$name=strtolower(substr($_FILES['file']['name'],0,-4)).".jpg"// name of file - must be jpg
    
$size = GetImageSize ($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']);        // params of image

  
if ($size[0]>$size[1]) {$sizemin[0]=$maxx;$sizemin[1]=$maxy;};
   if (
$size[1]>$size[0]) {$sizemin[0]=$maxy;$sizemin[1]=$maxx;};
  
  
$im=@imagecreatefromjpeg($path);                // path to your gallery
  
$small = imagecreatetruecolor($sizemin[0], $sizemin[1]);    // new image
  
ImageCopyResampled($small, $im, 0, 0, 0, 0, $sizemin[0], $sizemin[1], $size[0], $size[1]);
  
// below is main function resampling image

  
ImageDestroy($im);                        // free memory

  
if (ImageJPEG($small,$path,100))                // try to save image
      
{
       echo
"File $path has been written<br>\n";            // success
      
echo "size: ".$sizemin[0]."x".$sizemin[1] ."<br>\n";
       }
     else
       {
       echo
"<font color=red><b>";                    // failed to write file
      
echo "Error ! File has not been written.";
       echo
"</b></font><br>\n";
       };

I played with "imagecreatefromjpeg()" function and, after a few tests, I found that the filename that it requires as parameter should be only a simple filename: the function does not work if in the string of the filename is specified a path to that file.
The quickest workaround found: do a chdir() to the directory of your image file before try to use "imagecreatefromjpeg()" with your file as parameter.
I did not test the other functions (imagecreatefromgd2(), imagecreatefromgd(), imagecreatefromgif() etc.), but I suppose that they work in the same way.
I think that little trick should be specified in the manual.

Using imagecreate() combined with imagecreatefromjpeg() in PHP 4.3.0 and up creates wrong color jpeg's.

Use imagecreatetruecolor() instead of imagecreate() for right color images.

ImageCreateFromJPEG() as of GD 2.0.15 (as bundled with PHP 4.3.4) doesn't handle 4-channel (with alpha channel) JPG images well, the function fails and emits message 'Unsupported color conversion request' to stderr. The solution I found for this is to use NetPBM tools - 'jpegtopnm < orig.jpg | pnmtojpeg > new.jpg' creates a JPG image PHP GD library can open just fine.

did you found that sometimes it hang the php when imagecreatefromjpeg() run on bad JPEG. I found that this is cause by the JPEG file U used dont have EOI (end of image)
the FF D9 at the end of your JPEG

JPEG image should start with 0xFFD8 and end with 0xFFD9

// this may help to fix the error
function check_jpeg($f, $fix=false ){
# [070203]
# check for jpeg file header and footer - also try to fix it
   if ( false !== (@$fd = fopen($f, 'r+b' )) ){
       if ( fread($fd,2)==chr(255).chr(216) ){
           fseek ( $fd, -2, SEEK_END );
           if ( fread($fd,2)==chr(255).chr(217) ){
               fclose($fd);
               return true;
           }else{
               if ( $fix && fwrite($fd,chr(255).chr(217)) ){return true;}
               fclose($fd);
               return false;
           }
       }else{fclose($fd); return false;}
   }else{

Here's the answer for your 256 color only problem!!!
use these functions in order then it works fine!

$img_src=imagecreatefromjpeg('yoursource.jpg');
$img_dst=imagecreatetruecolor(20,20);
imagecopyresampled($img_dst, $img_src, 0, 0, 0, 0, 20, 20, 20, 20);
imagejpeg($img_dst, $g_dstfile, 100);
imagedestroy($img_dst);

For Windows users who wants to enable the GD libary:

It took me some while to figure this out, but in the end it worked (and still does) great.

1. First download the latest (stable recommended) version of php
2. Unzip to f.ex c:\php\

3. Now you should have a file in c:\php\ that's named php.ini.dist (or something like that). Rename that to php.ini and copy it to the root of you Windows directory.

4. Open the php.ini file (the easiers way is to open the run promnt at your start menu and just type php.ini and hit enter).

5. Search (ctrl+f) for extension_dir. The default value is set to "./", make it to "./extensions"

6. Now you need to find where in the php.ini the modules for Windows is located. Search for gd.

7. Remove the ; char infront of this line: extension=php_gd2.dll

8. Try make a php script with some image functions and see if it works. F.ex $im = imageCreate("test.jpg");
If you get a message that says something like imageCreate function doesn't exist the gd libary is not loaded.

9. That's all. Have fun using GD in Windows :)

As jpsy sugested Windows users can download the zip to get the gd2_dll extension

OR

If you already installed with the windows installer and are too lazy to get the zip you can go here

http://www.coupin.net/gd-freetype/windows.php

Download the php_gd2.dll file put it wherever you want, and change the

extension_dir=C:\php\extensions

Wherever you saved the dll to is the path you put in, remember to uncomment

extension=php_gd2.dll

Do not uncomment the one above for gd.dll (the one without the 2)

Doing a "make clean", regardless of which platform you're on (including MacOS X) should clean up the source tree enough to ensure that config changes take effect...

Note for PHP 4.3 under Mac OS X 10.2.3:

I originally compiled using only --with-mysql --with-apxs. When this compiled correctly (for a change; previous versions didn't), I then tried adding --with-gd --with-jpg-dir and a bunch of other goodies, but they didn't add in. Apparently removing config.cache isn't sufficient. My advice is to simply delete the entire folder, and try your new configure command on a clean untarred source folder.

[Ed Note: You must have netpbm installed for this to work --alindeman @ php.net]

Just wanted to let you know that
imagecreatefromjpeg crashes php
(command line at least) sometimes with segmentation fault when jpeg is corrupted.
To get rid of the nasty segmentation fault i used
system ("jpegtopnm f.jpg > f.pnm", $r);
if ($r != 0) {printf ("invalid jpeg\n"); return; }
system ("pnmtopng f.pnm > f.png");
$im =imagecreatefrompng ("f.png");

Wow, it only took me 3 hours to get all of the lib paths correct for my install. Some of them are /usr, and some are /usr/lib...go figure. I figured that I would post this in the hopes that it will save somebody some time.

Remember that if you're using rpm installs...you have to install the devel packages. For example, if you're installing mysql from rpm, and you want to compile with support for your particular MySql dist, you must install mysql-devel*.rpm.

Anyway, I'm a redhat 7.1 install...with all appropriate devel packages installed.

./configure \
--with-mysql=/usr \
--with-ftp \
--with-apxs=/home/www/bin/apxs \
--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6 \
--with-gdbm=/usr/lib \
--with-gd=/usr \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib \
--with-png-dir=/usr/lib \
--with-tiff-dir=/usr/lib \
--with-config-file-path=/home/www/conf \
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/lib \
--enable-magic-quotes \
--enable-track-vars

Basta/Justnoone:
GD no longer supports the GIF format due to legal issues with Unisys (they own the patent for LZW compression used in GIF). See the documentation for GD for more details:

In the new versions (PHP 4.0.6, GD 2.0.1), ImageCreateFromJPEG() results in a TRUE COLOR image.

In the older versions, you only get 256 colors.

I just wanted to note here something i found else where that was very helpful to me when using jpeg images.  when using imagecreatefromjpeg()  it can be difficult to allocate new colors. 

The work around i found was posted under imagecolorallocate() and prescribes that you first use imagecreate(), allocate colors, and then copy the jpeg into this image.

For those having trouble getting jpeg support using gd, make sure you
rm config.cache
before reconfiguring php. Otherwise the configure script will assume jpeg support is still not compiled into gd.

In response to my own post:

Maybe this is common knowledge but here is how I solved my problem. Hopefully this will help out seeing how I couldn't find any other articles on this topic with a solution.

This seems to work pretty well. Displays in browser and QT Picture Viewer but for some reason Photoshop won't open it. Translation error. Since I'm just using it to cache the image for when the our content provider goes down no biggie there.


$si = fopen($imagePathURL, "r");  // open URL
  
   $serverImg = fread($si, 1000000);  // read contents
      
fclose($si);  // close file

  
/* open file to save to (w+ creates if file does not exist || b opens binary safe [Win32]) Seemed to work fine with out the 'b' on Windows NT but just to be safe. */

$si = fopen($saveImgTo, "w+b");
  
   fwrite($si, $serverImg);  // write contents to file
  
fclose($si);  // close file


Hope this helps somebody...long live PHP

Wonder why that's just the only image function you can't get to work? Remember that you have to use a gd library that supports JPEG (make it manually and <important>edit the makefile</important>)! Especially all gd RPMs from SuSE (including 7.0) don't support it as it's not default up to gd 1.8.3.

Start by adding --with-jpeg-dir to your ./configure options as I left this out (not knowing I needed it) and I spent the best part of 6 hours trying to compile to get this option. (RH 6.2, PHP 4.0.1pl2, Apache 1.3.12, GD 1.8.3)
