Help with PHP GD library script-cropping photos

hi everyone.

i have a script for cropping pictures- using the php GD library. the script works perfectly. the only problem is that it crops the pictures in the middle.

i wish however to crop the top half of the picture .

can anybody please tell me what i need to ajust to be able to crop just the top part of the picture.

thank you so much for your kind help.

This is the php script for uploading the pictures and giving the proposed size of the pictures. The function that actually reduces the pictures size is below .






// Access the $_FILES global variable for this specific file being uploaded
// and create local PHP variables from the $_FILES array of information
$fileName = $_FILES["uploaded_file"]["name"]; // The file name
$fileTmpLoc = $_FILES["uploaded_file"]["tmp_name"]; // File in the PHP tmp folder
$fileType = $_FILES["uploaded_file"]["type"]; // The type of file it is
$fileSize = $_FILES["uploaded_file"]["size"]; // File size in bytes
$fileErrorMsg = $_FILES["uploaded_file"]["error"]; // 0 for false... and 1 for true
$kaboom = explode(".", $fileName); // Split file name into an array using the dot
$fileExt = end($kaboom); // Now target the last array element to get the file extension
// START PHP Image Upload Error Handling --------------------------------------------------
if (!$fileTmpLoc) { // if file not chosen
echo "ERROR: Please browse for a file before clicking the upload button.";
exit();
} else if($fileSize > 5242880) { // if file size is larger than 5 Megabytes
echo "ERROR: Your file was larger than 5 Megabytes in size.";
unlink($fileTmpLoc); // Remove the uploaded file from the PHP temp folder
exit();
} else if (!preg_match("/\\.(gif|jpg|png)$/i", $fileName) ) {
// This condition is only if you wish to allow uploading of specific file types
echo "ERROR: Your image was not .gif, .jpg, or .png.";
unlink($fileTmpLoc); // Remove the uploaded file from the PHP temp folder
exit();
} else if ($fileErrorMsg == 1) { // if file upload error key is equal to 1
echo "ERROR: An error occured while processing the file. Try again.";
exit();
}
// END PHP Image Upload Error Handling ---------------------------------
// Place it into your "uploads" folder mow using the move_uploaded_file() function

echo "ERROR: File not uploaded. Try again.";
unlink($fileTmpLoc); // Remove the uploaded file from the PHP temp folder
exit();
}

the Function below actually reduces the pictures size to thumbnail.







function ak_img_resize($target, $newcopy, $w, $h, $ext) {
list($w_orig, $h_orig) = getimagesize($target);
$scale_ratio = $w_orig / $h_orig;
if (($w / $h) > $scale_ratio) {
$w = $h * $scale_ratio;
} else {
$h = $w / $scale_ratio;
}
$img = "";
$ext = strtolower($ext);
if ($ext == "gif"){
$img = imagecreatefromgif($target);
} else if($ext =="png"){
$img = imagecreatefrompng($target);
} else {
$img = imagecreatefromjpeg($target);
}
$tci = imagecreatetruecolor($w, $h);
// imagecopyresampled(dst_img, src_img, dst_x, dst_y, src_x, src_y, dst_w, dst_h, src_w, src_h)
imagecopyresampled($tci, $img, 0, 0, 0, 0, $w, $h, $w_orig, $h_orig);
if ($ext == "gif"){
imagegif($tci, $newcopy);
} else if($ext =="png"){
imagepng($tci, $newcopy);
} else {
imagejpeg($tci, $newcopy, 84);
}
}
// ------------- THUMBNAIL (CROP) FUNCTION -------------
// Function for creating a true thumbnail cropping from any jpg, gif, or png image files
function ak_img_thumb($target, $newcopy, $w, $h, $ext) {
list($w_orig, $h_orig) = getimagesize($target);
$src_x = ($w_orig / 2) - ($w / 2);
$src_y = ($h_orig / 2) - ($h / 2);
$ext = strtolower($ext);
$img = "";
if ($ext == "gif"){
$img = imagecreatefromgif($target);
} else if($ext =="png"){
$img = imagecreatefrompng($target);
} else {
$img = imagecreatefromjpeg($target);
}
$tci = imagecreatetruecolor($w, $h);
imagecopyresampled($tci, $img, 0, 0, $src_x, $src_y, $w, $h, $w, $h);
if ($ext == "gif"){
imagegif($tci, $newcopy);
} else if($ext =="png"){
imagepng($tci, $newcopy);
} else {
imagejpeg($tci, $newcopy, 70);
}
}



thank you in advance for your kind help

Inside ak_img_thumb :

$src_y = ($h_orig / 2) - ($h / 2);

Comment this out, and put below it:

$src_y = 0;
