FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

What is Imagecow?
It's a php library to manipulate images to web.
- Written in PHP 5.3
- Use GD2 or Imagick libraries (and can be extended with more)
- Has an optional client-side javascript to generate responsive images
- Very simple and easy to use. There is not a lot of features, just only the basics: crop, resize, resizeCrop, etc.
- Use the PSR-4 autoloader standard
Notes on 1.x version
The API in 1.x version changes a little bit (not much, only on create the instances).
How use it?
Use the static function Imagecow\Image::create() to load an image and returns an imageCow instance. This function has two arguments:
- image: The image file path or a binary string with the image data
- library: The library used (Gd or Imagick). If it's not provided, it's detected automatically (in order of preference: Imagick, Gd)
Crop the image
Resize the image
Resize and Crop the image
Rotate
Convert the image to other formats:
Save the image to a file
Execute multiple functions (resize, crop, resizeCrop, format)
This is useful to get images transformed dinamically using get variables: image.php?transform=resize,200,300|format,png
Show the image
Other functions:
Responsive images
Include the Imagecow.js library in the html page and execute the function Imagecow.init();
This function saves a cookie with the client information (width, height, connection speed). You can configurate the cookie. The default values are:
In the server-side, use the cookie to generate the responsive operations:
Now you can transform the image according with the client dimmensions. The available options are:
- max-width
- min-width
- max-height
- min-height
- width
- height
You can use the same syntax than transform, but separate the "media-query" with ";".
Get me the image "my_picture.png" with resizeCrop to 800x600. If the max-width of the client side is 400, resize to 400.
