I'll second that one, I wrote a shell script in PHP to resize images, using ImageMagicks mogrify
command, and it took ages. It's really much too slow for a web site.


If you need a faster solution, I think you have to buy something.

I forgot to mention what I was trying to do.
There is a web page that pulls the image file name from the database
then reads the URL to the directory where the image is. Is it possible
to just resize it when the web page is brought up in the browser?

I use ImageMagick's[1] convert[2] to do this. It is not a PHP module and must be run through exec[3]. Also, in my experience image manipulation is rather time consuming, it is a good idea to cache altered images so they do not have to be recreated on every page load.
