Pageimage class

Represents an image item attached to a page, typically via an Image Fieldtype.

Pageimage objects are usually contained by a Pageimages object, which is a type of Pagefiles and WireArray. In addition to the methods and properties below, you'll also want to look at Pagefile which this class inherits several important methods and properties from.

// Example of outputting a thumbnail gallery of Pageimage objects
foreach($page->images as $image) {
  // $image and $thumb are both Pageimage objects
  $thumb = $image->size(200, 200);
  echo "<a href='$image->url'>";
  echo "<img src='$thumb->url' alt='$image->description' />";
  echo "</a>";
}
