Hi,

 

I have a question that I hope you can answer. So far I have accomplished
the following:

 

Storing a jpeg in a MySQL database

Retrieving the jpeg from the database

Sending the jpeg to a browser and displaying it correctly

 

Creating dynamic PNG images in PHP

Resizing the dynamic PNG image in PHP

 

 

 

Now I need to combine the two processes. I am storing jpegs in a
database, and I want to write a script that can serve the image as
either a thumbnail view or a full view. How exactly would I go about
this? I was hoping I could just load the image from the database and
then insert it into an object I created with "imagecreate()". However I
don't seem to be able to find any functions that will allow me to do
that.

 

I noticed there were functions to import images from files or URL's.
Does this mean that I will first have to save the image as a file on the
hard drive and THEN import it into the image object?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.
