Re: Why small > big?

I'm not quite sure, but consider the following: Considering the fact that most JPEG images are stored with some form of compression usually ~75% that would mean the original image, in actual size, is about 1.33x bigger than it appears in filesize. When you make a thumbnail, you limit the amount of pixels, but you are setting compression to 100% (besides that, you also use a truecolor pallete which adds to its size). So, for images which are scaled down less than 25% (actually this will prob. be more around 30-ish, due to palette differences) you'll actually see the thumbnail being bigger in *filesize* than the original (though smaller in memory-size) - tul P.S. isn't error_reporting( FATAL | ERROR | WARNING ); supposed to be error_reporting( E_FATAL | E_ERROR | E_WARNING ); ?? tedd wrote:

Hi gang: I have a thumbnail script, which does what it is supposed to do. However, the thumbnail image generated is larger than the original image, how can that be? Here's the script working: http://xn--ovg.com/thickbox And, here's the script: <?php /* thumb from file */ /* some settings */ ignore_user_abort(); set_time_limit( 0 ); error_reporting( FATAL | ERROR | WARNING ); /* security check */ ini_set( 'register_globals', '0' ); /* start buffered output */ ob_start(); /* some checks */ if ( ! isset( $_GET['s'] ) ) die( 'Source image not specified' ); $filename = $_GET['s']; // Set a maximum height and width $width = 200; $height = 200; // Get new dimensions list($width_orig, $height_orig) = getimagesize($filename); if ($width && ($width_orig < $height_orig))

    {
    $width = ($height / $height_orig) * $width_orig;
    }

else

    {
    $height = ($width / $width_orig) * $height_orig;
    }

// Resample $image_p = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height); $image = imagecreatefromjpeg($filename); imagecopyresampled($image_p, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $width, $height, $width_orig, $height_orig); // Output & Content type header('Content-type: image/jpeg'); imagejpeg($image_p, null, 100); /* end buffered output */ ob_end_flush(); ?> --- Thanks in advance for any comments, suggestions or answers. tedd
