Dynamic image resize with php

[Giovanni]

Hello,

I'd like to insert a resized image in a html page.

I know that using the html IMG tag it is possible to set the height
and width attributes, with no need of php (or server-side processing).

But my problem is the following:
I need to use the resized image as a table background - and
unfortunately html doesn't support the resize function for images used
as background !

Is it possible to resize an image dinamically (on the fly) by using
php ?
Is it possible without having GD libraries installed ?


Thanks in advance for your help.
Giovanni.

Hi

I highly recommend using ImageMagick. Much better image quality.
