Apologies first, Image uploading....
Posted: Sun Jul 02, 2006 12:19 pm
First my apologies to the Moderators and members of this forum for this (1) not being a question, (2) not being strictly a PHP oriented post .
That said, it seems (at least to me) that frequently questions are asked here regarding using PHP for imaging resizing PRIOR to uploading.
The answer (and it is correct) inevitably is - 'You cannot do that, as PHP is server-side, therefore, the image MUST get to the server before PHP can resize/check size etc.'.
As a businessman/crisis-management consultant/non-programmer-programmer, my objective is to accomplish the mission using whatever tools are efficient and readily available. Ego (I want to do the whole thing myself/recreate the wheel/etc) must NOT be a part of your thought process.
Hmmm, getting too long winded here.
Bottom line, look at this link and consider it as a possibility.

Again, my sincere apologies for being somewhat 'off-topic'.
