Is it possible to create thumbnails with PHP?? Hmm... maybe that wasn't the best way to ask it. I know how to make thumbsnails with PHP, but tahts saving to my hdd. What i'm really looking for is to create them when a visitors looks at the page.
Ok im making an image gallery type thing, and I want all the images to be teh same size, But i want to upload them and leave their original size so i can link the Thumbs tot he original picture and open it in a seperate window. I've tried just using the width and height properties ont he img tag, but that distorts the images.

So is there a way i can create smaller scaled down images and display them without creating a new thumbnail for it when its uploaded??

Thanks
