BetterPHP

I was wondering how i would let my users upload a profile picture but aswell as the original being uploaded i would like a thumbnail version to be saved from it like facebook does has original and a thumbnail version for comments etc.. how would i go about doing this?

Thanks

Cropping is very easy have a look at my image gallery tutorial for how to do that.

Face detection though, would be pretty hard to do ! Your best bet would be looking for a php extension that provides a function to do it, since implementing the actual detection with php would be too slow to process. Luckily it's somethign a lot of people are trying to get right http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q= ... +detection

Yeah the crop is easy but don't want the image to look stretched and I can't install any extensions to the server

You can crop it and keep the aspect ratio easily. I did that in my image gallery video.

im going to do your tutorial tonight see if it does the job on my website.. ill let you know how it goes thanks

Just been watching your tutorial on the image gallery.. its exactly what i need just without the face detection? correct?

crop with face detection

Face detection will be a lot harder, check the link I posted above for info on how to do it though.
