But there is SOME kind of data embedded in some images providing the resolution at which they will/should be printed... Because *SOMETIMES* http://php.net/getimagesize provides a reasonable "resolution" in its result array. 'Course, sometimes it's full of crap, too... Thing is, if you go changing those settings, and then save and then print the two versions, you'll get quite different printer output. So OBVIOUSLY the files are different, in some way that printers understand, even if PHP only half-understands it. 'Twould be nice if PHP was as smart as a printer :-) :-) :-) YMMV -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
