Hello.

I’m new to the forums, and I know a tiny amount of php :(… so I was hoping maybe someone here could help me. 😃

Well I’m making a site for a friend of mine, but he is a big techno-fobe. The site is basicly a big image gallery, but he doesn’t want to have to crop and resize all of his images to make a thumbnail, so Im tring to create a script that will do that for him (just automatically grap a square from the middle of the picture, about 160_160, then shrink it down to 80_80, and finally just save the file).

But unfortunately (as stated above), I know practically no php ☹ If you guys could help me out I would really appreciate it 😃
