Publisher review:Effective Thumbnails allows you to optimize the imaes display on your website. This utility helps you, if you display images in the unoriginal size in your website.
Instead of the image address (for example images/test.gif) you write thumb.php?src=images/test.gif&w=100&h=50&ne=1 in the HTML tag (or somewhere else).
Script generates a thumbnail from the original image and dimensions specified (width 100px, height 50px) and stored in the special directory (default .thumbs/). Then this thumbnail is send to browser as an ordinary image. If the script is called in the next time with the same parameters (the same image with the same dimensions), the thumbnail is not generated again, but the thumbnail already generated is send to browser. That saves much server time.
Effective Thumbnails 1.0 is a PHP script for Image Galleries scripts design by Jan Horak.
