php simple image resize after upload

Question

I looked around for a while and found some very confusing and complicated stuff that I couldn't get to work.

I'm using chronoforms with joomla to make a form with an upload file script, and it uploads the image to the server with no problems, so far so good.

I need to take the uploaded image and resize it, better yet, is there a way to resize the image before uploading it to the server?

Thanks.

I have used PHPThumb for a few of my projects and found it easy to work with and has a small resource footprint. You can read the docs for more info, but is pretty easy:

$thumb = PhpThumbFactory::create('/path/to/source/image.png');

$thumb->resize(100, 100);

$thumb->save('/path/where/you/want/resized/image.png');
