reduce the size of the pictures on the fly ?

[DaveinLondon]

Hi
I am writing a script to allow someone to send photos to my
server and I want to reduce the size of the pictures for my server.

I am not sure if I should allow them to upload a large file to a
temp directory on the server and then I reduce the size and delete the upload,
OR if i can reduce the size of the picture file before it hits my server.

As I am allowing five photos, i would prefer the second option.

Does anyone have some ideas on this ?

it would have to be uploaded to your server in order to use the gd library on them
