PHP apparently has some functions for such tasks, as mentioned by another poster. I can't comment on their usefulness, as I've never used them myself. There is a package (cross-platform) called ImageMagik which does a pretty nice job of manipulating images from a command-line environment. This isn't the most performance-savy option of course, being that you must spawn an extra process each time you manipulate an image, but it's pretty easy to work with on the commandline -- and therefor easy to work with from PHP. I once successfully integrated ImageMagick into a ColdFusion project*. IM did it's job well, and left me pretty happy. * If it sounds tricky, and somebody did it in ColdFusion, odds are you can do it in PHP with about 1/4th the thought, and 1/4th the code. Plus it'll run 4x faster, and never do weird things on you. Just my own personal observation. :) Justin Buist Trident Technology, Inc. 4700 60th St. SW, Suite 102 Grand Rapids, MI 49512 Ph. 616.554.2700 Fx. 616.554.3331 Mo. 616.291.2612 On Fri, 31 Aug 2001, Andrius Jakutis wrote: > Hello all, > > I need to make some program with php, that I would resize image. > > Any examples? > > Thanks! > > > > -- > PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-db-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-db-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net >
