i have no idea how to deal with thumbnails.. i have seen a lot of tutorials but is like none of them make sense at all..is there any place where i can find a nice detialed tutorial on how to make thumbnails of pictures that are already in a directory..or when they are been uploaded to the site.. and how to out put them becuase i t ried to use the code in the same page and it show all the page source code..??? :-[

I'm interested in this, too. I don't care for fancy scripts that do a whole bunch of other stuff I don't need, just a nice little script that makes thumbs of the files in a particular directory plus easy to edit settings like thumbnail size, style and number of thumbnails per line. :D

Thanks redarrow! How am I suppossed to handle this? I tried the obvious, 'save as index.php and upload it into the images directory' but that returned nothing. Could you explain to me what I/we're suppossed to do? Hehe :)
