Anyway, I've been looking all over google and a few search pages on this forum about this question, but I didn't find my answer. I'll be happy if someone could help me out with this:
I just made a random-pictures system where users can make dynamic pictures, and add a lot of regular pictures to them, so that every time the dynamic pictures are refreshed, they show a different picture.
For the dynamic part I use imagecreatefromjpeg, imagecreatefromgif and imagecreatefrompng, and get the random address from the database. Anyways, it all works great and everything but what I need to know is how does this function (imagecreatefromX) works? Is it just displaying the picture from the remote address, or is it processing it on my server and consumes my bandwidth?
Thanks in advance!
