Thumbnails creation from live path of the images

Post by habib009pk »

Dear Friends,

I am facing a problem, i am getting data of different cars from other server, and also getting the images of these cars from this server in the form of live Url.
Now these are images are in very big size, I want to create the thumbnails of these images.

The image url are in the form of:
http://dragon.aleado.com/p3/PicGetter?y ... /FZ+QSed3A

Which is the live address of the image and i gave it in the src of the image tag. As the image size is very big, so the displaying time is very slow.

Please help me, is it any thumbnail creation code which makes the thumbnails for the live address.

Waiting for your reply

Thanks and Regards.

There are plenty of tutorials for creating thumbnails from larger images out there. Give those a try.
:google:

On particularly large images: Can you not start with smaller ones in the first place? Do you need to generate the thumbnails on your server or can they be pre-processed by photoshop or another application instead? If not you may need to set PHP's memory limit appropriately high if you have permission to do such a thing on your server. If memory limit is a problem though you'll get an error telling you so.
