I am new to PHP also but there is some fundamental understanding of PHP that is likely to make things much more clear. PHP is a server-side facility. PHP executes before the HTML is (considered to be) complete. Then the HTML is sent to the client. By the time that the user clicks on the page, PHP is totally gone (for the purposes of the page). This concept is quite easy to explain and to understand, yet you are likely to spend many, many hours of reading before you read enough to understand this. In other words, I am sure you can understand it, but this is the type of concept that documentation seldom makes clear. You can, instead, put resize code (using PHP or nearly any language) in the page that shows the image. This is also a more object-oriented solution. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
