Change Image Properties 'On-The-Fly'

/ Published in: PHP

Sometimes you may need to change image properties 'on-the-fly'. The best example is when you want to display blog post short description, retrieve the first image and try to turn it into the thumbnail: change some properties and add a special class name.

Expand | Embed | Plain Text

Copy this code and paste it in your HTML

<?php
$postText = '..includes html + image tags';
 
// find first image and redo it
preg_match_all('/<img[^>]+>/i', $postText, $images);
$postThumbnail = isset($images[0][0]) ? $images[0][0] : '';
$postThumbnail = preg_replace('/(width|height|style)="*"/', '', $postThumbnail);
$postThumbnail = preg_replace('/<img/', '<img class="blog-post-thumbnail"', $postThumbnail);
 
echo $postThumbnail;
echo $postText;
?>
