PHP: Image Croper / Resizer

Question

I'm working on a website that has many tiled images using JQuery's Masonry plugin. The tiles are all uniform in size, but the images contained within them can be a number of sizes.

I was wondering if there's a good recommendation for a PHP plugin / script that can take an incoming image of any size, and do whatever is required to fit in a certain sized box (have automatically resize, crop, insert black space, etc.)

EDIT:

Thanks for the Php options. is there anything in the JQuery realm too?

Answer 1

This script would fit your need as well :

If you need to modify something, php's image functions are always named imagesomething($resource,x,y,etc.)

Hope this helps.
