This is a command line PHP Script that takes a folder of images (all ImageMagick supported file formats) and combines them into a single file (or multiples files if you wish ;). It also creates a CSS file for you - ready to go.

php kombine.php
php kombine.php --sizes=16,32,64 --class-name=thumb
php kombine.php -s16,32,64 -cthumb
» This will create *16px*, *32px* and *64px* version of the images combined into a *single image*
with *thumb* as class name in the css.
php kombine.php --sizes=30x20,60x40 --dimensions=8 --format=jpg --class-name=thumb
php kombine.php -s30x20,60x40 -d8 -fjpg -cthumb
» This will create *30x20px* and *60x40px* versions of the images combined into a *single image* with *8 columns*,
*JPG* format and *thumb* as class name in the css.
php kombine.php --sizes=30x20 --names=custom --dimensions=8x2 --format=png --class-name=thumb \
--images-dir=styles/thumbs --styles-dir=styles
php kombine.php -s30x20 -ncustom -d8x2 -fpng -cthumb --images-dir=styles/thumbs --styles-dir=styles
» This will create *30x20px* version of the images combined splitted into *multiple images* with *8 columns*
and *2 rows*, *PNG* format, *thumb* as class name and *custom* image version class name in the css.
The final images will be located in the *styles/thumbs* folder and the css in the *styles* folder.

Before using the generated images in production I suggest an optimization tool like optipng or jpegoptim.
