Reduce image size

Beta2

Hi

does any one know of any scripts (php preferably, but any will do) that can reduce the size of an image as it is being uploaded.

I currently allow people to upload photographs to my website, but these pictures are huge, both physically in the size of how it displays on the screen and the size in memory.

So if someone uploads a 1 mb photo 1200 X 1200, the script will be able to rduce this to to 40 X 40 and 50 Kb.

also if any one can point me to any tutorials on this I'd be greatful

Cheers

Not too sure about that, but I did come across a script whereby you could reject files which did not conform to your specs (which I think would be better as it gets them to do the dirty work ).

Anyway, I'll try and find that again but I can't remember where I came across it. It may have been Sitepoint.com if you have some time yourself to browse. Their site is great for all those kind of tutorials. You may even find the one you're looking for.

Hope this helps.

That would be ideal, however most of the people that use it are eejits.......

That php resize script looks really interesting, i'll have a go at it over the weekend.

Thanks for your help
