Hey there,
i am building a site that will allow people to upload images of any type (bmp, jpg, gif, whatever) and i want the site to display them as thumbnails. So that when the user clicks on a thumbnail of the image the real one will pop up in its own window. That part i got. But i need some advice on the image handling. The images are going to be stored in a MySQL db. How would be best to do this ? I could load the image as a small (30x30) or so of the real thing, but some of the images could be large and may put drain on some of the viewers load times (especially folk on dial-up). Or is there some program or module that can auto-generate the thumbnail for me?
i am fairly comfortable with python and somewhat comfortable with php. If that helps.
thanks for any tips.
