Image editing with PHP?

Question

I would like to be able to crop an image to a 3:2 ratio and then blur the image.

Is this at all possible with PHP without installing any additional classes, as I am on a shared hosting server?

Thanks!

Yes, it is possible, but please remember to always use Google first. A query for `image editing with PHP` or `php image resize` / `php image blur` etc. will give you an overview of what the most common tools are. — Pekka, Sep 07 '13 at 13:17

I did use Google and for some reason I had thought that PHP classes could not be run on my Hosting Provider. Sorry, I thought StackOverflow was a place to ask questions and get help from those who have more knowledge than oneself. Thanks for the downvote. — Olokoo, Sep 07 '13 at 13:37
@Ian34, it is indeed a place to get help, but (in common with many sources on the web) a prior coding effort or prior research is politely expected. It helps to explain what you've done already, even if this was fruitless. And, don't take downvotes personally - they are just a form of communication. — halfer, Sep 07 '13 at 13:52

What do you mean by additional classes? Image manipulation with PHP requires GD or Imagemagick. I think most hosts have one of these installed.

Yes there is a library called GD Library which will help you to do such stuff.

You are welcome but a better advice is to Google everything before posting a question – Moeed Farooqui Sep 07 '13 at 16:13
