<tip type="image resizing with PHP">
If your PHP host is not prepared to recompile PHP with GD, and you 
want to do some fancy on-the-fly image resizing, have a look into the 
features of NetPBM. The sparse home page is at: 
http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/

There are precompiled binaries for a few platforms, which is handy 
for the above situation, since you won't be able to get any compile 
time on your host will you? It makes resizing images with PHP as easy 
as:

exec ("/dir/to/jpegtopnm /your/jpeg/file.jpg |
/dir/to/pnmscale -xsize $whateverwidthyoulike |
/dir/to/ppmtojpeg > /your/output/file.jpg");

Fast, and highly recommended.
