If you’ve been directed to this page, that means that you’re complaining about how your variables in a POST or GET aren’t being carried over to the next page. You’ve been sent here because its an *extremely* common pitfall, and yet one that is exceptionally easy to work around if you know what to do – and also aggravating to explain over and over, hence this page.
Cropped Thumbnails using PHP and the GD Library
This code will allow you to create a thumbnail from a segment of the image. In some situations, you want to thumbnail an entire image – but other times, you may want only a piece – for example if you wish to generate square thumbnail images regardless of whether or not the original image is landscape or portrait style.
Dynamic Watermarks/Text Overlay on Images in PHP
This code can be useful for a number of things, such as making dynamic banners or for adding a copyright type of watermark to photographs or artwork (as we do in snipe gallery). As usual, this will not work for gifs unless you have a version of gd that lets you do that (cuz the folks at Unisys are a bunch of mo-mos).
