Preserved Topic: php: jpeg without GD

hello everyone,
I need to convert JPEGs into thumbnails.
Unfortunatly the enviroment (ie. the PsPong.com server) does not have GD installed.
Does anyone have suggestions what alternatives (apart from reimplementing the jpeg algorithm in php) are there?
Wedah suggested netPBM, but that would require compiling, and I'm not sure I feel like compiling for a unix platform from my windows box.

I hope you have some advice,
Tyberius Prime

just out of pure curiousness:
where is pspong.com hosted? runningwolf?

ts, installing and using an external util might also help.

i remember reading an example @ http://www.weberdev.com/

search for thumbnail when you get there.

Scratches head. Here man - compiled.

And here a premade solution. Follow the links to the compiled micro install of netPBM, but should be same as above.

Yes, it's hosted at RunningWolf. No GD for now. I'm trying to work a solution into the long term plans of the site.
