Problems with autothumnailer using imagecreate

[darkfunkel]

$im1 = "spain 2003 060.jpg";
$im = imagecreate (30, 30);
$im = @imagecreatefromjpeg($im1);

$background_color = imagecolorallocate ($im2, 255, 255, 255);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate ($im2, 233, 14, 91);
imagestring ($im, 12, 20, 20,"", $text_color);
$i = imagepng ($im);

is the code I have, if you havn't already guess I am trying to get $im1 down to 30 by 30 pixels I have altered around the code many times, each time it comes up with an error or it just converts the image full size into png, how would I make it shrink the image? tia

You need to use imagecopyresized().

I have been trying with that for a good ten hours, could someone please post a code snippet to do this? tia

Off the top of my head:

$im1 = "spain 2003 060.jpg";
$im = imagecreate(30, 30);
$im2 = imagecreatefromjpeg($im1);
imagecopyresized($im,$im2,0,0,0,0,imagesx($im),imagesy($im),imagesx($im2),imagesy($im2));
imagepng($im);
