Once you upload the image and move it from its temporary location, simply resize it. It is pretty much straight forward.

that what i was thinking..the only thing is ineed to find something that will reseize it but proportional..

[John]

To resize it, you will need to use the GD library [http://us.php.net/ma.../ref.image.php] which is built into PHP. Unfortunately, I have never resized an image in PHP, so I can't really help you with that algorithm. However, the method that is normally employed with image upload scripts is a thumbnail generation which I think would be significantly easier than resizing the image, but I don't know if that will work out for you.
