Just generate it once and serve the thumbnail as a file (there's no reason why you would need to invoke php to show a thumbnail of an image).

Thanks for your input. Gary Gary: Don't complicate this process more than necessary. Simply upload the image file normally and store it in the file system OR the database. When you want to show the image as a thumbnail, then show it. Here's the code: http://webbytedd.com/b/thumb/ If you want to show it with a watermark, then show that. Again, here's the code: http://webbytedd.com/b/watermark/ If you want to show the image as a thumbnail with a watermark, then combine the two routines. I'll leave that to you.

[PHP] GD Watermark Question
Is there a way to insert a watermark on an image as it is being uploaded to the image file, then removed when it is called from a database to be viewed on a website? The rational behind this is I have a photographers site I am doing, and I am limiting the size of the images somewhat to reduce pilferage and I would like to be able to show the images a little larger, hence with a bit more clarity and detail. Thanks for your input.
