Image Resizer Version 1.0.1

Image Resizer Version 1.0.1

I have created a php page with the following information:

Div box size is 100 px wide and 50 px height
The dynamic image which is to be displayed in the div box is much larger than the box.
I have added the Image Resizer Version 1.0.1 behaviour set to "fit" to the box
It does not work - the image displays as it's full size on the page

Code:
<div>
<?php do { ?>
<?php
if(TRUE){ // Begin Cached Resized Image: ImageCacheInstance_1328263124913
ob_start();
?>
<img src="<?php echo $row_img_glass['eg_lge']; ?>" />
<?php
echo(getCachedResizedImageHTML(ob_get_clean(), "../../../image_cache", "fit", "#FFFFFF", false));
} // End Cached Resized Image: ImageCacheInstance_1328263124913
?>
<?php } while ($row_img_glass = mysql_fetch_assoc($img_glass)); ?></div>

Any advice would be appreciated please

in the image tag, you have not specified any width or height setting for image resizer to use:

<img src="<?php echo $row_img_glass['eg_lge']; ?>" />


image resizer gets the size info based on the width or height setting for the image tag:
<img src="<?php echo $row_img_glass['eg_lge']; ?>" width="300" />

This is what I don't understand about image resizer

If I specify a dimension for the containing div (100 px height and 200 px width) and the image is set to 300, the image expands the div box instead of "fitting" into it.

Also, adding a width of 300 px to the image makes it behave excatly the same as if I just add the width of 300 px to the standard "Width" dimension box in dreamweaver with no "Image Resizer" functionality added

In the above scenario, what is supposed to happen to the image?

the fit to box setting has nothing to do with the div that the image is inside of.

to the end user, it looks like image resizer is doing the same as adding the width or height setting to the image tag, but what is actually happening, is that the server is dynamically creating a new image file, resized to the settings of the width and height on the image tag.

when you don't use image resizer, the original image is sent to the browser, then resized based on the height and width settings. This can cause a lot of band with and slow load times if you have really large images.


With image resizer, the server creates a new image based on the width and height, and this is sent to the browser, this results in a smaller download, and faster load time.
