I am in the process of building a user uploadable photogallery. I am trying to figure out how to structure it. I would like to have a list of users that have images and if you click on a user you would see the gallery of that user. Here is my problem. I know from a user standpoint it is nice to have thumbnail so that you are not downloading and image unless you want to. sence users will be uploading the images i won't have thumbnails and the images will be all differant sizes. Should i just display the images or put them in a list with the discription with a link to the image. I have not done anthing this grand. i have finished the registration, login, and file upload protions and i am trying to get the gallery going.
Thanks for any input on this anyone might have.

you could use the GD library to reduce the images down to a common size. there are a couple threads in this forum and im sure the Phuse engine could turn up some results such as tutorials and actual code. good luck.
