checking if image generation is supported and image resize

Hi there,

How would I check if image generation is supported on my server? I
used phpinfo() but didnt know what to look for.

Also, I just want to resize image when they are uploaded using PHP. Is
this possible? What is the quality like after resize? Cheers

Look for a section titled 'gd'. This corresponds to the following:

Potentially quite poor with the simple function above. But for better results
see: http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/functio...yresampled.php

GD is also not the fastest solution for resizing photos (see [1] below);
consider looking into ImageMagick and calling that as an external process.
(There's also a PHP module to interface to the library that could remove the
need for an external process).

Hello, I hope you can help - I'm a bit new to PHP. My basic problem is with a page (HTML) which is intended to display an image slideshow. On this page there are a number of links to click (one for each slideshow topic) and a "TV screen" to view the results. The images are stored on the server as (big) JPG files - and when they are downloaded for the slideshow, I resize them with a PHP script

I have a page with images that the user can drag from one frame to another. I need them to see a "ghost image" of the image they are dragging, while the original stays put. I use the onmousemove event to keep the ghost image under the mouse pointer. There are three problems: (1) if the ghost image is dragged so it is partially off the edge of the screen, scrollbars appear. This not only looks bad, it can cause the page to autoscroll...

Do you know if it is possible to have an image to be scalled to a maximum width/height, but with keeping its aspect ratio. The two ideas I had were: - <img src="toto.jpg" style="max-width: 200px; max-height: 200px;"/> but it doesn't keep the ratio - <div style="width: 200px; height: 200px;"><img src="toto.jpg/></div> but the image flow outside the div

Hi, I've got a PHP Upload Form that works great, unless that is, the image your uploading has been modified through a photo editing software. Example: if I upload the image straight from a camera or other, it uploads fine. However, If I want to rotate the image, or resize it with photoshop or simmilar, making sure to save it again as a jpg, the PHP upload won't upload the image.

Hi, I know I seem to have the really complicated questions, but I guess that's why I'm here. This is a little verbose, only because I've been trying to crack this for a week now. Your help would be appreciated. I've been trying numerous ways to resize images, as I want to make store thumbnails, not full images in my database. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
