NYCPHP Meetup

[Christopher Hendry]

Hi Bradley or anyone.

Speaking of GD, ImageMagick and all that...I've got a situation where I want
to shrink an uploaded image to 50px max vertical and still maintain image
quality.  Unfortunately, it's on a hosted server, which only supports GD and
I'm not even sure in what form.  I've messed around with some of the code
from PEAR, but I can't get good image quality, and can only support jpegs
(I'd like to at least get gifs in there)...any thoughts or suggestions???
What does anyone know about the Gallery link
(http://gallery.sourceforge.net/)- are you saying it's using NetBPM ... is
this something I can install locally???

Thanks for any help.  And hello all.
Chris

-> Looks interesting due to the fact that it doesn't use GD or

-> Thanks for the link, Patrick.
