Adam -

If you're on a machine that has ImageMagick installed on it
(most Linux boxes I've been on have it installed already)
you can do something like this in PHP:

$origfile = "/home/bob/my_face.jpg";

$img_dir = "/usr/local/www/htdocs/images";

$dest_file = $img_dir . "/t_" . basename($userfile) . ".gif";

$s = system ("/usr/X11R6/bin/convert -geometry 100x100 $userfile $dest_file");

will create a 100x100 pixel thumbnail image called
t_my_face.jpg.gif
in /usr/local/www/htdocs/images

ImageMagick can be found at http://www.imagemagick.org/

Have fun!
