Thanks - most helpful I thought there must be a GD function to sort it but I got lost in the listing.

For design/content reasons I need to upload a variety of image shapes, resize them and fit the result into a constant sized box with the same fill colour making up the difference. I have written a script to do all the upload and resize depending on whether the width or height is the one that will be the limiting factor. But how do I place that centrally with control over the background colour of the total image? I suspect it is simple but hours of searching have not yielded the answer

I have a page which I will call A with links that call another parent page B that in turn has at least two iframes (may add more later) one of which, C, has the MYSQl calls to provide the detail. The iframe will happily respond to GET calls from itself so its internal code is OK but when I try to pass a variable through the parent B it complains of MYSQL statement errors. I even coded the parent B to take the GET from A and pass it as a new variable to C (it opens the right page as a result of A ) but had the same problem. No amount of Googling has produced an explanation - most answers seem to be between iframes under the same parent.

If you are using WAMP, which is wonderful IMHO, then in your browser type http://lolcalhost/ and you should see the wamp homepage. Then if you have put your file inside a folder within the c:\wamp\www directory, and named it index.php, once you click on that folder in the wamp homepage you will see the results of your coding. Is it as simple as that?
