How would you compress the image size before having it be uploaded to the folder. I have my code down below of what I have so far, how would i compress the image? Thanks!

$temp = explode(".", $_FILES["Image"]["name"]);
$newfilename = round(microtime(true)) . '.' . end($temp);
echo $newfilename;

if (!!$_FILES['Image']['tmp_name']) {
    $info = explode('.', strtolower($_FILES['Image']['name'])); 
    if (in_array( end($info), $allow)) 
        if(move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['Image']['tmp_name'], $todir . $newfilename  ) )        {
          echo "success";
        }
    }
    else {
      echo "error";
    }

I found this code, but I'm not sure how I'd implement it with mine. 

function compress($source, $destination, $quality) {

    $info = getimagesize($source);

    if ($info['mime'] == 'image/jpeg') 
        $image = imagecreatefromjpeg($source);

    elseif ($info['mime'] == 'image/gif') 
        $image = imagecreatefromgif($source);

    elseif ($info['mime'] == 'image/png') 
        $image = imagecreatefrompng($source);

    imagejpeg($image, $destination, $quality);

    return $destination;
}

$source_img = 'source.jpg';
$destination_img = 'destination .jpg';

$d = compress($source_img, $destination_img, 90);

  • PHP is server side, so the files have to be uploaded to server first, then PHP can manipulate the file. If you mean compress before move to upload folder: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11418594/which-is-the-best-php-method-to-reduce-the-image-size-without-losing-quality – catcon Jul 10 '19 at 05:25
  • alternatively you can use [php intervention](http://image.intervention.io/) its easy to use you can compress,crop,filter etc. with this library. – danish-khan-I Jul 10 '19 at 05:28
  • @catcon the issue with that is i dont know how to implement that with how my code is set up. I need help understanding how to compress it and then insert it or vice versa – AustinVD1998 Jul 10 '19 at 07:02
