You might need GD library, mod_rewrite, Perl and some more stuff. Go ahead and download Server2GO, a mature software package containing everything you need for running both a PHP page...

I’m helping a friend build a CMS for a site and I needed some automatic image resizing. The only possibility was GD so I decided to use it. There are many tutorials out there teaching you how to do it, but I wrote my own function from several GD functions available and some php.net help. Here is the function: [download]...
