Upload, Resize and Insert with PHP

This code is so amazing, you can create resized images of the original image.
Now you can create two from one using PHP, classic!

Have you ever wanted to upload, resize and insert images into a database without the hassle? This code will do it for you.

A few things are needed;

A database or not (Just comment out the database parts with //)
Create a page called upload.php.
Copy and paste the code.
Set up the Username, Password and Database settings if needed.
That's it.

Enjoy!

Create a Database called images, then use the code below OR
create a table called photos manually.

CREATE TABLE photos (
id int(3) NOT NULL auto_increment,
image varchar(80) collate utf8_unicode_ci default NULL,
image2 varchar(80) collate utf8_unicode_ci default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
) engine="MyISAM" auto_increment="1" DEFAULT charset="utf8" collate="utf8_unicode_ci;"

Add the code below to a file called upload.php, save it, and use it!

set_time_limit(0);
$link = mysql_connect(localhost, username, password) or die("Could not connect to host.");//put in your db connection details here
mysql_select_db(photos) or die("Could not find database."); // put your db name in here where the xxxx are
//define a maxim size for the uploaded images
define ("MAX_SIZE","500");
// define the width and height for the thumbnail
// note that theese dimmensions are considered the maximum dimmension and are not fixed,
// because we have to keep the image ratio intact or it will be deformed
define ("WIDTH","150"); //set here the width you want your thumbnail to be
define ("HEIGHT","150"); //set here the height you want your thumbnail to be.
define ("WIDTH2","299"); //set here the width you want your thumbnail to be
define ("HEIGHT2","299"); //set here the height you want your thumbnail to be.
// this is the function that will create the thumbnail image from the uploaded image
// the resize will be done considering the width and
height defined, but without deforming the image
function make_thumb($img_name,$filename,$new_w,$new_h){
//get image extension.
$ext=getExtension($img_name);
//creates the new image using the appropriate function from gd library
if(!strcmp("jpg",$ext) || !strcmp("jpeg",$ext))
$src_img=imagecreatefromjpeg($img_name);
if(!strcmp("png",$ext))
$src_img=imagecreatefrompng($img_name);
if(!strcmp("gif",$ext))
$src_img=imagecreatefromgif($img_name);
//gets the dimmensions of the image
$old_x=imageSX($src_img);
$old_y=imageSY($src_img);
// next we will calculate the new dimmensions for the thumbnail image
// the next steps will be taken:
// 1. calculate the ratio by dividing the old dimmensions with the new ones
// 2. if the ratio for the width is higher, the width will remain the one define in WIDTH variable
// and the height will be calculated so the image ratio will not change
// 3. otherwise we will use the height ratio for the image
// as a result, only one of the dimmensions will be from the fixed ones
$ratio1=$old_x/$new_w;
$ratio2=$old_y/$new_h;
if($ratio1>$ratio2) {
$thumb_w=$new_w;
$thumb_h=$old_y/$ratio1;
}else{
