If it returns true, the image has been created; otherwise it will be false. You can either use header() and readfile() to display it, or simply link to it with <img src="..." /> (if it's in a web accessible location). @Tom: The function produces a file based on $dest_image.

Anyway, in your function, when you check if the image is either landscape or portrait, you define a $square_size variable by using the previous $x_offset (resp. $y_offset) one ; but the only thing you want to do is to crop the image so that the final one is a square one, so you can use the $image[1] (resp. $image[0]) to do exactly the same (i.e. "$image[0] - ($x_offset * 2) = $image[1]"). Much easier I think ;) Exellent function, I was looking for a good way to do the same but finally, I think I’ll choose this one.
