Making images smaller

[Anon]

i have 1 big image i want GD to genrate thubnail of it(make it much smaller)

how can i reduce size with GD

I've done this myself.

Use the imagecopyresized function.

Here's the basic logic:

Get the big image loaded in PHP.
Create a small image of the same aspect (so it looks cool)
Copy the big image onto the small image (using the imagecopyresized function)
save the small image.

I made a page which automatically generates thumbnails for photos, and saves them on my server:
