Having googled to find your code - that's a really nice way of doing
it. Well done!

Hi Marcelo,
The obvious optimisation would be to cache the scaled images on the
server - save them under a name dependent on the dimensions of the
generated image.
E.g.
trees.jpg
becomes
cache/trees_400x300.jpg
Then when you serve the image, just check to see if the file is in the
cache - if it
I personally would avoid Zinc. Although we've used it successfully,
I've had two or three of their updates introduce bugs which break our
products, and I've had to revert until a fix comes along. The quality
control is just too shoddy.

Good point.
I assumed - Andreas - that you were talking about deleting _instances_
of a class; not actual classes. :-)

Yep - that works perfectly well. But it's always better to avoid
situations like this:
Some of the developers used the same classes and
slightly modified them for their needs.

Hi Andreas,
To turn it on its head...
What are you trying to achieve? In what circumstances do you need to
destroy a class?

Um - I'm not sure it is beside the point. :-) Given that you are at
the mercy of the garbage collector, implementing a function like:
class MyClass
{
function cleanup()
{
delete _someProp;
delete _someOtherProp;
}
}
is pointless anyway, because if you delete an object of MyClass (or
