FTP functions and dynamic images

[apparition668]

I need to create a script that allows me to take an uploaded image, resample it down to a thumbnail, and then write the thumbnail to a directory.

Since I don't really relish the concept of creating a world read/writable directory in which to store images, I thought about PHP's FTP functions.

Problem is that the thumbnail, created using PHP's graphics functions, doesn't exist anywhere, so I can't seem to FTP it.

Any ideas how I might accomplish this?

Hey

Have you tried looking under the image section of the php manual?
imagejpeg() says that it can create a file for you from an imagereference but it really depends how you're creating your thumbnail to begin with. These functions may no be available as it looks like you need to have certain libraries complied.

The first user comment looks quite interesting though - its a script for creating thumbnails

Hope this helps
