PHP list, I have a PHP script that resizes an image. It takes just about whatever

I've found that these days, it's not uncommon for people to take images

straight off their digital camera, which can be 3000X2000 pixels in image size, even if the jpeg file containing the image is only 200 KB. When working with the image, it gets uncompressed and takes up a lot of memory.

You might want to look into using javascript to trim the file down to a respectable size before uploading. Cheers, tedd

I'd be interested in seeing an example of how you actually plan on doing that, Tedd. JavaScript can't access the file from an input field, and I'm not aware of any JavaScript image handling functions either. Andrew

I saw one the other day that caught my eye -- will look into it. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
