Compress Image Size on Upload

Compress Image Size on Upload

I have a form that uploads an image no problem when it is under 10MB. But, if it is over 10MB, it fails. Is there a way to compress any image a person try to uploads to 10MB or less? Here is my code:

// WA_UploadResult1 Params Start
$WA_UploadResult1_Params = array();
// WA_UploadResult1_1 Start
$WA_UploadResult1_Params["WA_UploadResult1_1"] = array(
'UploadFolder' => "admin/received",
'FileName' => "[FileName]",
'DefaultFileName' => "",
'ResizeType' => "2",
'ResizeWidth' => "400",
'ResizeHeight' => "0",
'ResizeFillColor' => "" );
// WA_UploadResult1_1 End
// WA_UploadResult1 Params End

WA_DFP_SetupUploadStatusStruct("WA_UploadResult1");
if(isset($_POST["submit"]) || isset($_POST["submit_x"])){
WA_DFP_UploadFiles("WA_UploadResult1", "id_image", "2", "", "false", $WA_UploadResult1_Params);

Thank you

You can't compress before uploading. You are already compressing after upload. You just have to increase your memory limit most likely.

Try adding this to the top of your page:

php:
<?php

ini_set
('memory_limit','256M');
?>

Hmm. That still didn't help. So, if they are uploading an image and we need the image size to be smaller, what should this be set to:
'ResizeType' => "0",

If they are uploading a pdf, what should it be set to?

If the upload fails, is there a message I can display and have it prevent the form from submitting? For some reason, when I use the WebAssist links in Adobe Dreamweaver 2020, they don't work so I have been handcoding it from old code. So, I can't use the validation links.

I added this to the page:

if($WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["statusCode"] == 20 or $WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["statusCode"] == 30 or $WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["statusCode"] == 0){
echo "The file you are trying to upload is too large. Please compress the file before uploading.";
}

Would this work?

I'd have to do some testing, but that might work as long as the code was in the correct location. You can't really compress and resize .pdf files since they are already pretty well compressed, so an error like this would make sense as a solution.
