Magical Image Resizing URL’s with Zend_Framework (and cached for Apache)

As a lazy programmer I don’t like resizing images all the time. So I made this bit of code to let me write a URL including the file size and have the work done for me.

  • Written for Zend Framework 1.11.12
  • It will resize the image and save it into the correct location so that Apache will find it next time and not call the PHP.
  • You can specify the required width, height, both or neither.
  • If a width or height is given as 0 then the original dimension will be used.

Add some settings to application.ini

cache.publicDir = '/cache'
cache.dataDir = APPLICATION_PATH "/../public/cache"
data.dataDir = APPLICATION_PATH "/../public/data

Add a route in the Bootstrap

The regex router must match a URL containing the required file sizes, the file name and as many sub directories as thrown at it. It matches the following and sends them to the ThumbAction on FilesController:

  • /cache/100/200/file.jpg
  • /cache/100/200/subdir/file.jpg
  • /cache/100/200/another-subdir/file.jpg
$router->addRoute('file_resized_thumbnail', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Regex(
	'cache/([0-9]*)/([0-9]*)(.*/?)/([^/]*?)',
		array(
			'controller'	=> 'files',
			'action'		=> 'thumb',
		),
		array(
			1	=> 'width',
			2	=> 'height',
			3	=> 'subdir',
			4	=> 'file'
		),
		'/cache/%d/%d/%s/%s'
));

FilesController.php::ThumbAction()

/**
*	Loads the file, gets a resized version and saves it in a location identical to 
*	the current URL so Apache can find it next time.
**/
public function thumbAction()

	$this->view->layout()->disableLayout();
	$options = $this->_helper->container->get('options');
	
	$fileName = $this->getRequest()->getParam('file');
	$subdir = $this->getRequest()->getParam('subdir');
	$width = $this->getRequest()->getParam('width');
	$height = $this->getRequest()->getParam('height');
	
	$cacheUrlPrefix = $options['cache']['publicDir'];
	$cachePathPrefix = $options['cache']['dataDir'];
	$dataPathPrefix = $options['data']['dataDir'];
	
	$fileName = urldecode($fileName);
	$subdir = ($subdir == "") ? "" : urldecode($subdir);
	
	$fullPath = $dataPathPrefix.'/'.$subdir.$fileName;
