The Bakery Everything CakePHP

I am in the process of writing an online store with Cake and needed a helper that would automatically resize images into thumbnails.

This is my first attempt at writing a component for CakePHP. If you have any suggestions please add them to the comments and I'll incorporate them.

This is a very simple wrapper for the very-excellent Image_Toolbox class.

A handy-dandy resize, crop component to be used in controllers rather than view.

Generate image thumbnail versions dynamically from a source image. Also includes a helper to call the component and generate full HTML code to render the image in a view template.

I made an image resize component. Pass it the image location, resized image location, dimensions, and quality and it will determine the image type, and use the proper functions accordingly. It works with GIFs, JPGs, and PNGs. I created a PHP4 and PHP5 version. You will need the GD 2.0 or higher library as well.
