Would this be impossible to do?

I am relatively new to programming in general and have a question. If someone could just point me in the right direction i would appreciate it.

In one of my MySQL databases i have one table that stores pictures as a blob. I need to create a function that will pull an individual picture from the database, resize it, and save the new image as a file on my server.

Thanks for any help in advance!😃

It is possible I think using GD (look it up on php.net) but I'm not sure about how.

Another point, you ought to store the path of the image file in the database and not the file itself to maintain the efficiency of the database.

Thanks, I downloaded that GD, WAY beyond me... thanks for the help though

You really want to get away from storing images as a blob in the DB. Much better to keep em on the filesystem and just store information about em in the DB. If only for the reason that it's harder to output the images with other content.
