Thanks,

 

I found a simpler way:

 

<?php

function scale($url,$width){

$size = GetImageSize($url);

$xp = $size[0]/$width;

$yp = $size[1]/$xp;

echo '';

}

 

scale("images/frontpic.jpg",290);

?>

 

It works!

 

Now, I'd like to draw a little gray rectangle around that picture, with a padding of 4 or 5 pixels , and a 1 pixel black border. Is it possible to do that?

 

Thanks,

 

Eduardo

I'm sure it is possible... I'll require some good web searching, since I'm not sure off the top of my head.

 

Another alternative... a bit easier and you don't have to mess with PHP. Wrap each thumbnail in a div, with a gray background color, 4 or 5 pixel padding on all sides, and the 1px border.
