Re: getting the width and height of a images

True, using height and width will speed up the page display. What some people get confused about is that using the height and width attributes to resize the image can slow the page display time down. If you have a very large image and try to resize it to a small image using the attributes, it will still take a long time to load since the entire, large, image needs to be downloaded.

Due to the fact that the browser doesn't have to re-layout the entire page when it starts to download the image. Whenever possible, width and height should always be used. -- Richard Heyes http://www.heyes-computing.net/scripts/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
