Hello
It's fairly easy to extract the thumbnail image from a cellphone jpeg. However I need to extract the image at higher resolution which is stored on the company's web server. Does anyone know how to do this, or would like to share clues about the method?

Good luck jbrohan> I have often toyed with the idea of having a mobile version of a site but I never have been in a situation where I had to. Hope it goes well.jbrohan wrote:Hello

Re: Getting images from emails from cellphones
Are talking about getting an image from a phone, or to a phone from the web?jbrohan wrote:Hello

I want to receive the emails from cellphones
I've sent jpegs to cell phones it works for Unicel in the US. I don't know about other service providers.
Thanks to the people who replied. The whole cell phone business seems steeped in unnecessary deviousness and complications. The market for image transmission in N.America is very undeveloped (and expensive).
Now I need people to send me images to put on my web site.

Are you refering to the exif_thumbnail() method of extracting thumbnail images from a digital source? If you are you are stuck with the resolution that is already embedded into the image. You would have to resize the image and make a new thumb for anything larger.
About receiving cell phone images to you. Wouldn't they just text message or multimedia message it to your mail box account?

Format of a cellphone email
The message that comes to your inbox from a cellphone email (not an MMS, since they go to your cellphone) contains a large thumbnail jpeg. If you click on it you are offered two screens later the possibility to download it at 450 * 600 in very good resolution. This download comes from their web site.
