How can I crop the image in php with given coordinates of X,Y,Width and Height

Question

I am trying to crop the original image with given X, Y, Width and Height coordinates. But it does not crop the image properly.

Here is my code

    header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
    $source_x = $_POST['x'];
    $source_y = $_POST['y'];
    $width = $_POST['w'];
    $height = $_POST['h'];

    $dest = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);

    $src = imagecreatefromjpeg('path of the orignal Image');

    imagecopy($dest, $src, 30, 30, $source_x, $source_y, $width, $height);

    $cropped_image = "Path where to store the cropped image";

    imagejpeg($dest, $cropped_image, 100);

Using above code, I am able to crop the image, But it doesn't crop in given coordinate.

Any help will be useful.

You should use the imagecrop PHP function. Here is the link to the manual: imagecrop

So, in your case it would look like this:

$to_crop_array = array('x' =>$source_x , 'y' => $source_y, 'width' => $width, 'height'=> $height);
$dest = imagecrop($src, $to_crop_array);
