creating thumbnail

[adam291086]

Is it possible to create a temporary thumbnail of a image? without storing it in a folder? If so where do i need to start?

if its stored on a different site, just link directly to that adjusting the size accordingly.

yeah that is great but the images i am using are massive, and taking ages to load. I am creating an online gallery. There is no upload to this. I just want to search a folder, then create a thumbnail of these images. These images are used within an iframe. Then i have some javascript making magic happen.

Okay, so if the images aren't on your server, just link to them.

<img src="http://www.whatever.com/img.gif" width="50" height="50">

 

And now the image displayed is small.

 

Is that what you want, you havent made it quite clear ???

no that not what i want.. sorry i'll explain again.

 

I have a load of images in a folder. I am using

<?php

$folder = glob("images/*.jpg"); 

foreach($folder AS $file)
{


//large image
$large = $file;
//thumbnail

?>
	<td>
	<img src= "<?php echo $file ?>" id="1" width="90" height="90" onclick="parent.replace_img('<?php echo $large ?>')">
	</td>
	<td>

<?php
    }
?>

 

to display them all. The problem using your method is that it is taking ages to load the small images because the full image is still having to load. I need away to make all the large images smaller without saving them, ie a thumbnail with minimal fil size.
