PHP Script Codes > Thumbnail and Watermark
This is a class that can process an image on the fly by either generate a thumbnail and/or apply an watermark to the image.
The processed image can either be displayed in a page, saved to a file, or returned to a variable.
It requires the PHP with support for GD library extension in either version 1 or 2. If the GD library version 2 is available it the class can manipulate the images in true color, thus providing better quality of the results of resized images.
