Resizes an image in the browser without throwing off the aspect ratio... basically it makes the image appear smaller, but not stretch the height... also: you dont need to know how wide/high the image is before, just how wide you want it. Someone called into question my reasoning for even using this function, if you can define this information statically in the html, but what the rude person doesnt realize is that if you are displaying hundreds of images in a while or for loop, you need to be able to define this dynamically. So to the responder: _You_ do your research first. --- Please keep in mind, this is not intended for large files, as it is intended for small files of different dimensions. It is meant for uniformed look, not efficient loading.

function OutputThumbnail($image_file, $size)
{
if (file_exists($image_file))
{
$size = GetImageSize($image_file);
$wid = $size[0] - abs($size - $size[0]);
$hie = $size[1] - abs($size - $size[0]);
?>
<img width="<? echo $wid; ?>" height="<? echo $hie; ?>" src="<? echo $image_file; ?>">
<?
}
}
This code didn't work for me, so I editted it and came up with:
function OutputThumbnail($image_file, $size) //sets the size of image
{
if (file_exists($image_file))
{
$size1 = GetImageSize($image_file);
$hie = $size1[1];
$wid = $size1[0];
if($hie>$size) {
$multiplier=$size/$hie;
$wid = $wid*$multiplier;
$hie = $hie*$multiplier;
}
echo "
< a href=\"$image_file\" target=\"_blank\">< img width=\"$wid\" height=\"$hie\" src=\"$image_file\" border=\"0\">
";
}
}

this code is useless in php, fot the same effect you may use javascript, which works almost on all servers, use php to generate acual thumbnails, not just resize and display 5MB pictures (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
this code is to prety ugly imagine if the image is a blob in mysql array or list, this function make error
make a better one but good for u for uploading a thing... (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
