I found a script which makes thumbnails out of images with a jpg extension
<?php
/*
This is the PHP code for the How to Create Thumbnail Images using PHP Tutorial
This script creates all of the thumbnail images and the gallery.html page.
Note: Make sure that PHP has permission to read and write
to the directory in which .jpg files are stored and the directory
in which you're trying to create thumbnails.

function createThumbs( $pathToImages, $pathToThumbs, $thumbWidth )

I use it here,
http://shores-rentals.com/thumb/
I want to modify it so I can use .png, and gif extensions. is this right?
function createThumbs( $pathToImages, $pathToThumbs, $thumbWidth )
{
// open the directory
$dir = opendir( $pathToImages );
// loop through it, looking for any/all JPG files:
while (false !== ($fname = readdir( $dir ))) {
// parse path for the extension
$info = pathinfo($pathToImages . $fname);
// continue only if this is a JPEG image
if ( strtolower($info['extension']) == 'jpg' )
{
echo "Creating thumbnail for {$fname} <br />";
// load image and get image size
$img = imagecreatefromjpeg( "{$pathToImages}{$fname}" );
$width = imagesx( $img );
$height = imagesy( $img );
// calculate thumbnail size
$new_width = $thumbWidth;
$new_height = floor( $height * ( $thumbWidth / $width ) );
// create a new tempopary image
$tmp_img = imagecreatetruecolor( $new_width, $new_height );
// copy and resize old image into new image
imagecopyresized( $tmp_img, $img, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_width, $new_height, $width, $height );
// save thumbnail into a file
imagejpeg( $tmp_img, "{$pathToThumbs}{$fname}" );
} else if ( strtolower($info['extension']) == 'gif' )
{
echo "Creating thumbnail for {$fname} <br />";
// load image and get image size
$img = imagecreatefromgif( "{$pathToImages}{$fname}" );
$width = imagesx( $img );
$height = imagesy( $img );
// calculate thumbnail size
$new_width = $thumbWidth;
$new_height = floor( $height * ( $thumbWidth / $width ) );
// create a new tempopary image

// copy and resize old image into new image
imagecopyresized( $tmp_img, $img, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_width, $new_height, $width, $height );
// save thumbnail into a file
imagejpeg( $tmp_img, "{$pathToThumbs}{$fname}" );
} else if ( strtolower($info['extension']) == 'png' )
{
echo "Creating thumbnail for {$fname} <br />";
// load image and get image size
$img = imagecreatefrompng( "{$pathToImages}{$fname}" );
$width = imagesx( $img );

imagecopyresized( $tmp_img, $img, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_width, $new_height, $width, $height );
// save thumbnail into a file
imagejpeg( $tmp_img, "{$pathToThumbs}{$fname}" );
} else {
echo "Couldn't create thumbnail for {$fname} <br />";
}
}
// close the directory
closedir( $dir );
}
Is it that simple?
