Image_Toolbox Component

I had a hard time finding a good image-resizing component/helper/whatever for Cake. After searching http://phpclasses.org for a bit, I found http://image-toolbox.sourceforge.net/ (Image_Toolbox)

Installation

Pretty simple. Go to http://image-toolbox.sourceforge.net/ and download the Image_Toolbox.class.php to your vendors directory.

The component code (save as image_toolbox.php in your components directory):

Component Class:

<?php 
class ImageToolboxComponent extends Object {
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();    
        vendor('imagetoolbox/Image_Toolbox.class');
    }
    public function makeToolbox()
    {
        $args = func_get_args();
        $argc = func_num_args();
        $params = array();
        for($i = 0; $i < $argc; $i++)
        {
            $params[] = '"'.$args[$i].'"';
        }
                $pstring = implode(",", $params);
        $estring = "return new Image_Toolbox($pstring);";
        return eval($estring);
    }
}

?>

Usage

Usage is as follows:

Controller Class:

<?php 
//... code
//Stock Toolbox
$box1 = $this->ImageToolbox->makeToolbox();

//Pass normal Image_Toolbox constructor params to the makeToolbox
//function:
$box2 = $this->ImageToolbox->makeToolbox("path/to/image.jpg");

//...code
?>
