It can be done, but it is not fast enough to do in real time. The way I create thumbnails is ImageMagick. I keep my thumbnails in a hidden directory (.s) and create them like this: mkdir( "imagedir/.s" 0700 ); system( 'cp imagedir/*.jpg imagedir/.s' ); system( '/usr/local/bin/mogrify -geometry 150X150 imagedir/.s/*' ); The last command will take an image of any size and aspect ratio, maintain the aspect ratio and resize it so the largest dimension is 150 pixels. There are MANY other commands available. Your thunbmails have the same names as the full size files, but are stored in imagedir/.s/.
