Randal,

You can easily use GD to resample images on the fly, but it will be slow
and take a heavy toll on the webserver if you're getting any kind of
traffic.

The trick is to write a php script which accepts an image name as a
parameter, loads the image into GD and outputs the resampled version
directly to the browser.

The more efficient way to do this is to cache the generated image on
disk, and only regenerate it when the source image changes (I do this by
comparing the last modified timestamps of the source image and the
resampled version in the cache).

Here is a function to get you started, which takes an image file,
resamples it to the specified height and width, and then either writes
it to the named file or outputs it to the browser.

function _resize_image_gd2($imgfile,$w = NULL,$h = NULL,$format =
'png',$destfile = NULL)
{
  $size = getimagesize($imgfile);
  $s_w = $size[0];
  $s_h = $size[1];

  switch ($size[2]) {
    case 1: // GIF
      $src = imagecreatefromgif($imgfile);
      break;
    case 2: // JPEG
      check_jpeg($imgfile);
      $src = imagecreatefromjpeg($imgfile);
      break;
    case 3: // PNG
      $src = imagecreatefrompng($imgfile);
      break;
    default:
      $src = imagecreatefromstring(file_get_contents($imgfile));
  }

  if (!is_resource($src)) {
    return false;
  }

  $dest = imagecreatetruecolor($w,$h);
  if (!is_resource($dest)) {
    return false;
  }

  imageantialias($dest,TRUE);

  imagecopyresampled($dest,$src,0,0,0,0,$w,$h,$s_w,$s_h);

  if (isset($destfile)) {
    switch (strtolower($format)) {
      case 'jpg':
      case 'jpeg':
        imagejpeg($dest,$destfile);
        break;
      case 'png':
        imagepng($dest,$destfile);
        break;
      default:
        return false;
    }
  } else {
    switch (strtolower($format)) {
      case 'jpg':
      case 'jpeg':
        imagejpeg($dest);
