image manipulation

[kilobitio]

is there any server side solution to do this?:

I'm trying to develop a website where users can open accounts and post information about events and people.

working on a fully mySQL - PHP site

I need this users to upload images from the events they want to promote, I'm only a mySQL-php roockie.

how do I enable users upload image files?

Is there any way the server adjusts the image size , so it fits the website design? I mean, not only altering the size at the moment of display but the file itself . so images don't eat my space

Sure it's possible.

Try to search on one of these sites for file upload scripts.

There is a free program ImageMagick www.ImageMagick.org , which you can use from command line to manipulate images. You can easily use it in you CGI or may be PHP scripts too. It's not CPU intensive(double check this one, cuz you don't wanna bog down the server running it) and is easy to setup and easy to use.

Yup,

Generally I have imagemagick running on most servers and it isn't too bad. If it isn't on the server you are on, just let me know and I can install it.

There you go, now all you need to know is how to use it.

BTW, Thanks for letting us know that you have ImageMagick, I might even use it some day. :)

I get countless requests for it, so I always like to make sure it is installed. Sometimes I forget though.
