Hi!

Is it possible to do this:
Without the geometry suffix "^" and still get the same result somehow? Some other options perhaps?

Also I'm lookin a way to do this:
Without the geometry suffix ">".

(Some reason geometry suffixes doesn't work through PHP on my computer)

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

You will get a different result with ^ than leaving it off. Basically with ^ it resizes according to the smaller dimension. If left off it resizes to the larger dimensions. The latter is more suitable for extending and former to cropping. The > means that the image will only be resized if larger than the size provided. see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... p#geometry

so if you are trying to resize and pad, then you can leave off the ^. if you are trying to resize and crop, then use the ^.

I don't see why PHP would have any trouble, if the geometry is either properly quoted or the ^,> etc are escaped. Though I don't use it that much. So I will defer to some other users, such as Bonzo, that use PHP more than I. See http://www.rubblewebs.co.uk/index.php

If you can't use '^' because your IM is too old. Their is a old solution but it involves multiple resizes.

geometry suffixes should work via PHP, but you may need to double quote time. Once for PHP, and once for the shell PHP runs.

Perhaps a simple PHP example that we could look at?

See and answer my PHP post. I've tried to quote them various ways, no help :/ Thus finding a way to do without suffixes.
