creating a thumbnail of image located on another server

Post by jonwondering »

Just wondering how to get a thumbnail of an image that is located on other websites. What would be the best way of doing this:
Would it be better to download the image to my server, then resize and save as thumbnail?
Or would it be better to do it on the fly, with javascript without saving thumb to the server?

Maybe there's another way? Any suggestions are welcome. By the way, how do you download the image from another website with php?
Any good links are welcome too :)

Thanks,
jonwondering
