To reduce its display size in an img tag, specify 640 * .75 for the width
(assuming 640 is for width) and 480 * .75 for the height. If you actually
want to reduce the size of the image, then look at PHP's image-related
functions (and the GD library).
In my php.ini file, this is what it looks like:
...
extension_dir = C:\php4\extensions\; directory in which the loadable
extensions (modules) reside
extension=php_gd.dll
Many thanks,
