Hello everyone, We've made a PHP binding for the libvips image processing library.
https://github.com/jcupitt/libvips libvips is interesting because it is fast and needs (relatively) little memory. I made a tiny benchmark here: https://github.com/jcupitt/php-vips-bench On that test (and on this laptop), php-vips is four times faster than imagick and needs 10x less memory. libvips is becoming widely used for resizing image proxies and it's the library behind the most popular node.js image resizing module. Our PHP binding comes in two parts. There's an extension here that does the low-level link to the libvips library: https://github.com/jcupitt/php-vips-ext And a pure PHP thing here that tries to layer a nice API on top of that: https://github.com/jcupitt/php-vips I'd like to get the extension part added to PECL. Does this look like a suitable project? John -- PECL development discussion Mailing List (http://pecl.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
