[PHP] Image Resampling

2001-12-06 Thread Sondra Russell

Dear Friends,

I'm working on a tool where my dear user can upload a large jpg for 
use with a store.  The tool would upload the jpeg, resample (as 
opposed to resize - image quality is appalling on that!) it to 
thumbnail, and then be done with the whole thing and go smoke a 
cigarette.

Sounds simple, right?  Well, here's my challenge: my hosting company 
isn't quite up to GD v.2x (they're staying behind in gif-land with GD 
v.1.6).  So, I successfully installed ImageMagick to call from 
system() or exec().

BUT, my hosting company runs php in safe mode, forbidding any system 
or exec calls.

Now, I KNOW I'm not the first person on the planet to have this 
challenge.  Anyone?  Bueller?  Share with me.

Best,
Sondra

Dear Sondra,

So, I would suggest you to change your webhosting company.

:o)
