Hi Champs, Actually, i am uploading a file to my server… Now suppose if i uploads the file of more than 1Mb… then its taking a lot of space… And also taking a lot of time in showing that image … Just like thumbnails … 🙂 So now what i want is that is there any way by which i can reduce or minimize the size of the file before saving to my database … I mean how to create thumbnail … Want to know each and every possible way … if possible … ? ---

Then you have a lot of research to do… I started with [http://clarkware.com/cgi/blosxom/2007/02/24#FileUploadFu](http://clarkware.com/cgi/blosxom/2007/02/24#FileUploadFu) and use Rmagick (no experience on Centos, I use Ubuntu). Links to other items (image processors) are available from the clarkware site.
