Yes, I know this has been addressed, but it is buried somewhere in a thread and every time I want to use it I need a few minutes to find out where. So here it is for everyone who wants to use it:
Just use the image tags, but make the first one instead of img:
img width=xxx height=yyy
with xxx and yyy obviously representing the desired width and height in pixels. |

I should have added it to the FAQ for BBCode, you're right. If any native speaker cares to write a short paragraph on how and why to use these tags, I'll be happy to use it.

| Can you guys post a pic that has been fixed? All someone whould have to do is press quote on it and the code could be seen. I was asking groza about this yesterday and today. |

| Could the tags be modified so that you don't have to put in a height and have the picture rescale automatically? When posting a picture, people only rescale it to avoid page stretching. |

This is a non-trivial change, but I can put it in my list if there's an interest. My name is Earl.

| Would the resizing tags still be usable if things are automatically resized? |

That's something to consider. Offhand I can't think of a need to resize a picture in a distorting (disproportionate) manner, but it IS supported in HTML.

| It'd only resize if they're too big, right? |

| The only reason for manual resizing tags to remain is if someone wanted to make a picture smaller than the automatic resizing would. Maybe if a post had a few pictures and the poster wanted them to be similar in size or something. |

| Or, maybe I'm misinterpreting this. Would the automatic resizing keep the picture proportional with the poster deciding on the size? Like, the poster still inputs, say, the height, and the width is automatically determined to keep it proportional? |

The only direction people resize pictures on this forum is horizontal. When I say automatically, I would still be looking for an imput for the picture's width but not its height.
Lets say I have a picture that is 2340x1745. This is a rather large picture and it would generally be annoying. I would like to make it 750x??? because a width of 750 should be fine. It takes a minute to manually find that the ??? should be 559. I am fairly sure that it isn't hard for the coding to find this number automatically. |

This is untested, but it's so simple it probablyonly has 1-2 bugs in it...
This will set a max in either dimension
| Code: |
function resizeImage ($width, $height, $max) {
$ratio = ($width > $height) ? ($max/ $width) : ($max/ $height);
$width = round($width * $ratio);
$height = round($height * $ratio);
return array ($width, $height);
}
|
This will scale to a maximum width
| Code: |
function resizeImage ($width, $height, $max) {
$ratio = $max/ $width;
$width = round($width * $ratio);
$height = round($height * $ratio);
return array ($width, $height);
}

Totally side questions:
Is putting the open bracket on the same line the convention?
Do you not have to declare your variable? Is that what the $ does?
(other than that, I'm glad I'm learning java because it seems highly similar) |

It's *a* convention. Personally I abhor it and only use it when patching code where it was already used.

In PHP, no you don't. Note this is usually a bad thing, as a typo in a variable name can lead to annoying bugs that are difficult to solve. However, all variables in php are of the "variant" type, so no declaration per se is required (except possibly for global variables).

The $ just indicates this is a variable.

| God yes. I couldn't imagine not declaring and just depending on the language to figure it out. |

| Do we really need to calculate the height? In IE 6, and in Netscape 8 set to render like Firefox, the browser seems to resize the height automatically if the width is resized in the HTML. |

I use it for subroutines, mostly because it works best with the outline feature... it make is so I can shrink down the entire routine into a single line that just says:
| Code: |
function resizeImage {...}
|
I sure like that. When the brace is on the next line, it's messy looking. For other blocks, I have the braces on lines by themselves.

It can lead to more difficult debugging, but it's convenient, natural, and clean looking.
