Re: generating thumbnails

nahhh, if you're doing a lot of images on a page, doing a system call for each one would generate entirely too much overhead, imo. check out the built-in image manipulation functions in php. http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php there is a function called ImageCopyResized() which is probably what you would need to use. i used to have a thumbnailer written in php but alas, it's been so long ago, that i forgot how i wrote it. :) ~shawn ----- Original Message ----- From: George E.
