Hi there

 

i have jus written a php program to upload and display images but when i try to upload them it takes a long time to upload if the file is big. But the big problem is when i try to display them. The time taken to display them is huge. so i was just wondering if its posible to optimize a image quality to 50% or reduce size before uploading it to the server and also save some bandwidth. can i do this directly from the upload form for jpeg image

 

$name=$_FILES['file']['name'];

$tmpname=$_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];

$path=images/$name;

$tmp=imagecreatefromjpeg($tmpname);

imagejpeg($tmp,$path,50);

 

Any comments would be grately be appreciated.

 

thanks

If you want to do it BEFORE upload, you basically need to do this on your PC
