Image resizing

[MetroidMaster1914]

So I'm trying to take an image, not knowing what the image sizes may be, and shrinking it if it's bigger than 100px to a max width/height of 100px. Here is my problem: The page always takes a long time to load when it comes to animated images. Sometimes it just gives up and stops loading the page.

 

The page: http://www.metroidheadquarters.com/staff/

 

The code used to resize:

<img src='<?php echo $avatar; ?>' <?php
$imagesize = getimagesize($avatar);
$width = $imagesize[0];
$height = $imagesize[1];
if ($width > $height){
if ($width > 100) {
echo "width='100'";
}
} else {
if ($height > 100) {
echo "height='100'";
}
}
?>
alt='<?php echo $name; ?>'>

 

If you need more info, let me know. I'd appreciate any and all help in this matter.

thanks for the link. It says I need a GD library though. How can I find out if I have it on my server, and if it's not there, how can I put it there?

if im not mistaken its usually installed by default

 

just run the following phpscript on your server:

 

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

 

and search for "gd"

 

you should find something like this:

 

GD Support: enabled
