Question

I want to crop an image. Is it possible to do like this. And if yes, how would the crop() function look like?

$imgURL is always a .jpg image.

$image = file_get_contents($imgURL);
$maxWidth = 100;
$height = 68;

$image = crop($image, $maxWidth, $height);

file_put_contents("media/imgname.jpg", $image);

function crop($image, $maxWidth, $height){
    ...how do I crop the image?
}
