Re: thumbnails of images

I had used GD library to do this earlier but Apache gave me some funky memory limit exceeded errors whenever I tried to load the image bigger than 2M using imagecreatefromjpeg . This was a problem when I was using the stock PHP 4.3.<something> + Apache2 combination that comes with Fedora Release 1. imagecreatefromjpeg worked well when I used Red hat 9 (PHP 4.2.2 + Apache 2.0.40). /*Using imagemagick function to watermark and resize images*/ $cmdmakethumb = "composite -size ".$thumbwidth ."x"."$thumbheight -quality 40 -compose Over -gravity center ".$GLOBALS['watermark_thumb_image']. " $filename +profile \"*\" -resize " .$thumbwidth ."x"."$thumbheight $dstthumb "; system($cmdmakethumb); $GLOBALS['watermark_thumb_image'] -> gives the absolute path of the image which has to be placed as a watermark on the thumbnail $filename -> the absolute path of the high res image that has to be resized $thumbwidth -> width of the thumbnail $thumbheight -> height of the thumbnail {had a function which gave the height and width based on high res image's width and height} $dstthumb -> absolute path of the thumbnail image. I have a few functions to handle images. I can mail them offline to you if you want.
