Thumbnails`

I need some help, other than mentally. 😉 I am trying to redo the way I view my pictures. Currently I have php extract links from mySQL and then in a (while) thinger it exports the images. As we know, each image is still loaded with however big it is in size. This method takes forever and is slow. Well it worked at the time. Now I am trying to redo it with the GD stuff in the new PHP version. I've come up with this:

<?php
        $photo= "./pictures/graal/graal-2.JPG";
        //print "$photo"; 
        $im_location = "$photo";
        $im_size = GetImageSize($im_location);
        $im_width = $im_size[0];
        $im_height = $im_size[1]; 
        $im2 = ImageCreateFromJPEG($im_location); 
        $im = imageCreateTrueColor("85", "64"); 
        ImageCopyResized ($im,$im2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 85, 64, $im_width, $im_height); 
        Header("Content-type: image/jpeg"); 
        //Imagejpeg($im,'',"80"); 
        ImageDestroy($im); 
        ImageDestroy($im2); 
        Imagejpeg($im,'',"80");
?>

Well it doesn't work. Care to help? (The first vars im_locatation and photo are doubles. Extra code not needed. I only used that because I replaced the mySQL with the acatual path to the photo and didnt care to shorten it up)

Header("Content-type: image/jpeg");

My knowledge is (still) little, but as far as I know above line has actually be the first line in your .php script, like

session_start();

for example. Hope that helps. But you might want to share what does not work, e.g. any error messages or anything.

Ok I tried as you said. It doesn't work. I am getting no error messages, as usual. What I find odd is that it is showing nothing. Usually I make a mistake and it gives me a box with the red X, but I get nothing.

[EDIT]
Ok I tryed reworking the code a little bit more, with better results! But now I get a black box. 🙁

<?php
  $img_path = "http://brent.fatcake.com/pictures/graal/graal-2.JPG";
  //echo "<a href=\"$img_path\">Test</a>";
  $img = @imagecreatefromjpeg($image_path);
  $width = imagesx($img);
  $height = imagesy($img);
  $new_width = "85";
  $new_height = "64";
  $tmp_img = imagecreatetruecolor($new_width, $new_height);
  imagecopyresized($tmp_img, $img, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_width, $new_height, $width, $height);
  //imagedestroy($img);
  $img = $tmp_img;
  header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
  imagejpeg($img);
  imagedestroy($img);
  imagedestroy($tmp_img);
?>
