$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#box').darggable({containment:'#container'});
    $('#box').resizable({containment:'#container'});
    $('#crop').click(function(){
        var top = $('#box').position().top;
        var left = $('#box').position().left;
        var width = $('#box').position().width;
        var height = $('#box').position().height;

        alert('Top' + top + 'Left' + left + 'Width' + width + 'Height' + height);
        });
});

Please be kindly help me for create that.

You need to show us something, otherwise it's us doing all the work for you.

However, you need to use send the positions to PHP (via submit or Ajax). ALso:

 $('#box').darggable({containment:'#container'});

should be:

 $('#box').draggable({containment:'#container'});

You can use the GD2 library (http://php.net/manual/en/function.imagecrop.php and http://php.net/manual/en/function.imagecopyresized.php), which should be included in your PHP install) or ImageMagick (http://php.net/manual/en/imagick.cropimage.php) to crop the file.

Thank you sir for your response for my case.

This is the code that I did for my image editing tool, but I want to create crop the image and replace the image at the same place.
But in this code is crop the image and display it in another palce.

Ok, that's a lot of php and markup and js mixed up. Difficult to follow. Attempt to separate your techs as far as possible.

SO

PHP file - image editing script - only

HTML file - just markup - container for image with refs to jQ (with plugins)

JS file - just code to send positions/dimensions to PHP file via AJax)

Thank you sir for your kindly and quick advices. I will arrange my code this manner.

I want to know about my code, image editing tool's crop function. please tell me what's the wrong with this code.

1.This is the html code and it's include 'main2.css' file

            <td width="258" height="39"><p><img src="images/crop-256x256.png" alt="" width="35" height="33" /></p>
              <button id="crop">Crop</button> 
  1. This is the javascript code 'editTool2.js'

    $(document).ready(function() {
        $('#box').darggable({containment:'#container'});
        $('#box').resizable({containment:'#container'});
        $('#crop').click(function(){
            var top = $('#box').position().top;
            var left = $('#box').position().left;
            var width = $('#box').width();
            var height = $('#box').height();
    
    
            $.post('crop.php', {top:top, left:left, width:width, height:height}, function(){ 
            $('#output').html('<img src=new.jpg />');
                });
            });
    }); 
    
  2. And this is the php code 'crop.php'

    <?php 
    
    $dst_x = 0;
    $dst_y = 0;
    $src_x = $_POST['left']; //crop start x
    $src_y = $_POST['top']; //start y
    $dst_w = $_POST['width']; //thumb width
    $dst_h = $_POST['height']; //thumb height
    $src_w = $_POST['width']; //x+w
    $src_h = $_POST['height']; //y+h
    
    $dst_image = imagecreatetruecolor($dst_w,$dst_h);
    $src_image = imagecreatefromjpeg("images/1.jpg");
    imagecopyresampled($dst_image, $src_image, $dst_x, $dst_y, $src_x, $src_y, $dst_w, $dst_h, $src_w, $src_h);
    imagejpeg($dst_image, "new.jpg");
    
    ?>
    

can you please check this code. it's not working for me.Sadly my early code also not working.
I want to crop the image and replace it in same place. But this code is crop the image and save it in another place.

Change:

<img src="images/1.jpg" width="377" height="290" />

To:

 <img src="images/1.jpg" id="changeable" width="377" height="290" />   

And:

 $('#output').html('<img src=new.jpg />');

To:

$('#changeable').attr('src', 'new.jpg');

Perhaps you'll need to change the width and length too - but you already have that data from the input.

ok thank you. I'll try it
