Image Upload and Cropping with PHP and jQuery

Step 1: First, We will include all necessary jquery plugin and library files.We will keep all below files into head section of index.php file.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="dist/jquery.imgareaselect.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="dist/jquery.form.js"></script>

Step 2: We will Create div container to show image and option to change image.

<div>
   <img id="avatar-edit-img" class="img-circle" style="width: 140px; height: 140px;" src="default.jpg" height="128" data-src="default.jpg" data-holder-rendered="true"> 
   <a id="change-pic" class="btn btn-primary" type="button"></a>Change Image
</div>

Here, I am displayingdefault.jpg image file as a default image of profile page.

Step 3: Let’s create model box to upload and crop image.

<!--model box -->
<div id="changePic" class="modal fade">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header"><button class="close" type="button" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
<h3>Change Profile Picture</h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body"><form id="cropimage" action="profile.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">Upload your image <input id="photoimg" name="photoimg" type="file"> <input id="hdn-profile-id" name="hdn-profile-id" type="hidden" value="1"> <input id="hdn-x1-axis" name="hdn-x1-axis" type="hidden" value=""> <input id="hdn-y1-axis" name="hdn-y1-axis" type="hidden" value=""> <input id="hdn-x2-axis" name="hdn-x2-axis" type="hidden" value=""> <input id="hdn-y2-axis" name="hdn-y2-axis" type="hidden" value=""> <input id="hdn-thumb-width" name="hdn-thumb-width" type="hidden" value=""> <input id="hdn-thumb-height" name="hdn-thumb-height" type="hidden" value=""> <input id="action" name="action" type="hidden" value=""> <input id="image_name" name="image_name" type="hidden" value="">
<div id="preview-avatar-profile"> </div>
<div id="thumbs" style="padding: 5px; width: 600p;"> </div>
</form></div>
<div class="modal-footer"><button class="btn btn-default" type="button" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button> <button id="btn-crop" class="btn btn-primary" type="button">Crop & Save</button></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Step 4: Added some jQuery code to show the model box.The user will click change pic button and display the modal box.

jQuery('#change-pic').live('click', function(e){
  e.preventDefault();
  
  jQuery('#changePic').show();
  
 });

As You cann see above code, We are popup image upload bootstrap modal box on click of Change Image.

Step 5: Create jQuery Ajax form plugin for form submitting and show the image for crop process on bootstrap modal box.

jQuery('#photoimg').live('change', function() 
{ 
jQuery("#preview-avatar-profile").html('');
jQuery("#preview-avatar-profile").html('Uploading....');
jQuery("#cropimage").ajaxForm(
{
target: '#preview-avatar-profile',
success:    function() { 
        jQuery('img#photo').imgAreaSelect({
        aspectRatio: '1:1',
        onSelectEnd: getSizes,
    });
    }
}).submit();
});

You can get image all parameters into the 'success' call back function.

Step 6: We will cropped image and call save Ajax method to save image on hard disk storage.

//fucntion for get image cropped co-ordinate
function getSizes(img, obj)
 {
  var x_axis = obj.x1;
  var x2_axis = obj.x2;
  var y_axis = obj.y1;
  var y2_axis = obj.y2;
  var thumb_width = obj.width;
  var thumb_height = obj.height;
  if(thumb_width > 0)
   {

    jQuery('#hdn-x1-axis').val(x_axis);
    jQuery('#hdn-y1-axis').val(y_axis);
    jQuery('#hdn-x2-axis').val(x2_axis);
    jQuery('#hdn-y2-axis').val(y2_axis);
    jQuery('#hdn-thumb-width').val(thumb_width);
    jQuery('#hdn-thumb-height').val(thumb_height);
    
   }
  else
   alert("Please select portion..!");
 }
 //call on crop iamge button
jQuery('#btn-crop').live('click', function(e){
 e.preventDefault();
 params = {
            targetUrl: 'profiles/saveAvatarTmp/',
            action: 'profiles_controller_saveAvatarTmp',
   x_axis: jQuery('#hdn-x1-axis').val(),
   y_axis : jQuery('#hdn-y1-axis').val(),
   x2_axis: jQuery('#hdn-x2-axis').val(),
   y2_axis : jQuery('#hdn-y2-axis').val(),
   thumb_width : jQuery('#hdn-thumb-width').val(),
   thumb_height:jQuery('#hdn-thumb-height').val()
        };
  saveCropImage(params);
 });
 //make ajax request to PHP for save image
function saveCropImage(params) {
    jQuery.ajax({
        url: siteurl + params['targetUrl'],
        cache: false,
        dataType: "html",
        data: {
            action: params['action'],
            id: jQuery('#hdn-profile-id').val(),
    t: 'ajax',
        w1:params['thumb_width'],
        x1:params['x_axis'],
        h1:params['thumb_height'],
        y1:params['y_axis'],
        x2:params['x2_axis'],
        y2:params['y2_axis']
        },
        type: 'Post',
       // async:false,
        success: function (response) {
    jQuery("#changePic").hide();
    jQuery(".imgareaselect-border1,.imgareaselect-border2,.imgareaselect-border3,.imgareaselect-border4,.imgareaselect-border2,.imgareaselect-outer").css('display', 'none');
    
    jQuery("#avatar-edit-img").attr('src', response);
    jQuery("#preview-avatar-profile").html('');
    jQuery("#photoimg").val();
    AlertManager.showNotification('Image cropped!', 'Click Save Profile button to save image.', 'success');
    
    
        },
        error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
            alert('status Code:' + xhr.status + 'Error Message :' + thrownError);
        }
    });
 }
 
 

Step 7: Now define controller and action method into the profile.php file.

/*********************************************************************
  Purpose   : update image.
  Parameters      : null
  Returns   : integer
  ***********************************************************************/ public function changeAvatar() {
  global $current_user;
  $loggedInId = $current_user->ID;
  $post = isset($_POST) ? $_POST: array();
  $max_width = "500"; 
  $userId = isset($post['hdn-profile-id']) ? intval($post['hdn-profile-id']) : 0;
  $path = get_theme_root(). '\images\uploads\tmp';

  $valid_formats = array("jpg", "png", "gif", "bmp","jpeg");
  $name = $_FILES['photoimg']['name'];
  $size = $_FILES['photoimg']['size'];
  if(strlen($name))
  {
  list($txt, $ext) = explode(".", $name);
  if(in_array($ext,$valid_formats))
  {
  if($size<(1024*1024)) // Image size max 1 MB
  {
  $actual_image_name = 'avatar' .'_'.$userId .'.'.$ext;
  $filePath = $path .'/'.$actual_image_name;
  $tmp = $_FILES['photoimg']['tmp_name'];
  
  if(move_uploaded_file($tmp, $filePath))
  {
  $width = $this->getWidth($filePath);
   $height = $this->getHeight($filePath);
   //Scale the image if it is greater than the width set above
   if ($width > $max_width){
    $scale = $max_width/$width;
    $uploaded = $this->resizeImage($filePath,$width,$height,$scale);
   }else{
    $scale = 1;
    $uploaded = $this->resizeImage($filePath,$width,$height,$scale);
   }
  $res = $this->Profile->saveAvatar(array(
      'userId' => isset($userId) ? intval($userId) : 0,
            'avatar' => isset($actual_image_name) ? $actual_image_name : '',
      ));
      
  //mysql_query("UPDATE users SET profile_image='$actual_image_name' WHERE uid='$session_id'");
  echo "<img id="photo" class="" src="".getCustomAvatar($userId, true).">";
  }
  else
  echo "failed";
  }
  else
  echo "Image file size max 1 MB"; 
  }
  else
  echo "Invalid file format.."; 
  }
  else
  echo "Please select image..!";
  exit;
  
  
 }
 /*********************************************************************
  Purpose   : update image.
  Parameters      : null
  Returns   : integer
  ***********************************************************************/ public function saveAvatarTmp() {
  global $current_user;
  $loggedInId = $current_user->ID;
  $post = isset($_POST) ? $_POST: array();
  $userId = isset($post['id']) ? intval($post['id']) : 0;
  $path = get_theme_root(). '\\images\uploads\tmp';
  $t_width = 300; // Maximum thumbnail width
  $t_height = 300; // Maximum thumbnail height

 if(isset($_POST['t']) and $_POST['t'] == "ajax")
 {
  extract($_POST);
  
  $img = get_user_meta($userId, 'user_avatar', true);
  $imagePath = $path.'/'.$img;
  $ratio = ($t_width/$w1); 
  $nw = ceil($w1 * $ratio);
  $nh = ceil($h1 * $ratio);
  $nimg = imagecreatetruecolor($nw,$nh);
  $im_src = imagecreatefromjpeg($imagePath);
  imagecopyresampled($nimg,$im_src,0,0,$x1,$y1,$nw,$nh,$w1,$h1);
  imagejpeg($nimg,$imagePath,90);
  
 }
 echo getCustomAvatar($userId, true);
 exit(0); 
 }
 
 /*********************************************************************
  Purpose   : resize image.
  Parameters      : null
  Returns   : image
  ***********************************************************************/ function resizeImage($image,$width,$height,$scale) {
 $newImageWidth = ceil($width * $scale);
 $newImageHeight = ceil($height * $scale);
 $newImage = imagecreatetruecolor($newImageWidth,$newImageHeight);
 $source = imagecreatefromjpeg($image);
 imagecopyresampled($newImage,$source,0,0,0,0,$newImageWidth,$newImageHeight,$width,$height);
 imagejpeg($newImage,$image,90);
 chmod($image, 0777);
 return $image;
}
/*********************************************************************
  Purpose   : get image height.
  Parameters      : null
  Returns   : height
  ***********************************************************************/function getHeight($image) {
 $sizes = getimagesize($image);
 $height = $sizes[1];
 return $height;
}
/*********************************************************************
  Purpose   : get image width.
  Parameters      : null
  Returns   : width
  ***********************************************************************/function getWidth($image) {
 $sizes = getimagesize($image);
 $width = $sizes[0];
 return $width;
}

Step 8: We will create Model method to save image path into the database.That help to retrieve cropped image and display into the page.

/*********************************************************************
  Purpose   : save avatar.
  Parameters      : $options 
  Returns   : true/false
  ***********************************************************************/ function saveAvatar($options){
    //update sql

   }
