Re: Image manipulation

Adam - If you're on a machine that has ImageMagick installed on it (most Linux boxes I've been on have it installed already) you can do something like this in PHP: $origfile = "/home/bob/my_face.jpg"; $img_dir = "/usr/local/www/htdocs/images"; $dest_file = $img_dir . "/t_" . basename($userfile) . ".gif"; $s = system ("/usr/X11R6/bin/convert -geometry 100x100 $userfile $dest_file"); will create a 100x100 pixel thumbnail image called t_my_face.jpg.gif in /usr/local/www/htdocs/images ImageMagick can be found at http://www.imagemagick.org/ Have fun! -bob -- Bob Scott Web / DB Developer http://www.covalent.net Covalent Technologies, Inc.
