Overall Background:
I am in charge of migrating an already-made Content Mangement System
from ASP to PHP. I do not know PHP -- yet! I am trying to foresee
potential issues, and here is one.
Image Specific Background:
The ASP version of the CMS uses a 3rd party component to accept the
uploading of images, and then to resize them so that thumbnails are
made (as well as the original image) for photo albums. From what I have researched, new releases of PHP have image
manipulating abilities built-in to the language. But most of what I
have seen is "real-time" conversion where the PHP spits out a stream of
manipulated images. I want to be able to make a thumbnail for each
image, which will be saved to the server, and then reference this
thumbnail in a database.
Can someone point me to code that relates to this?
Or offer their thoughts on this? Any forseeable problems, especially
related to File Writing (making a new image) or shortcomings of
built-in image manipulation capabilities? (In the 3rd party ASP version
we had to get a really old version of a component that allowed GIF
manipulation, due to licensing issues, for instance.)
Any thoughts from PHP developers are appreciated!
Thanks,

There's lots - try searching for PHP & thumbnails at freshmeat.net.
If you're running on Linux, there are lots of CLI based tools which will do
the job a lot better than I could using the GD library. Invoking shell
based programs (and their availabilty) is not so good on a MS platform
though. Last time I checked, the GD lib still doesn't do GIF saving - but
PNG gives better compression and supports larger pallettes anyway.

Well, same here ... and I guess, png is doing lot better than what gif
does! I want to be able to make a thumbnail for each
image, which will be saved to the server, and then reference this
thumbnail in a database.
gd will help you in that regard.

Hello,
I'm trying to do the above in order to process an image and return the
result to an html image control. It fails and my key suspects are either
the variable that I'm passing in - ImageName - for processing, or the return
data which is done (or not as the case may be) by imagejpeg($img) in the
script, after header("Content-type: image/jpeg").
Any insights would be most welcome, especially debugging techniques and a

Is there anyway to find out an image's DPI using GD?
Can I change an image which is 300 DPI down to 200 DPI?
I am fully aware of that DPI doesn't matter on screen, but these are
to be used for printing, not web :)
I read somewhere that you could do this:

I have a math kinda problem where I'm trying to split some lines when two or
