Smart Image Resizer

Last week i had the pleasure of implementing this great bit of stand-alone PHP into a clients website:

http://shiftingpixel.com/2008/03/03/smart-image-resizer/

It’s a neat little script and very easy to use. Basically what it does is to resize and crop any image you throw at it on the fly. What this means in real terms is that you only ever have to create one thumbnail image and you can use the same image in different places on your site in a variety of different shapes and sizes!

I would show you some examples but it requires PHP 5.1 and my webserver is only running PHP 4.4.7

(thanks to Mr. Dalton for putting me onto this script)
