Stupid question.. maybe offtopic.. but:

if your provider doesnt let you compile an external program,
and doesn't have image-magic or another resizing proggy installend...
and the new providers only have GD with png but no jpg support...
is there a way in php or perl to resize a graphic????
like getimagesize for example works without any external helpers..
or maybe to convert image to png so GD could take over?

- i thought of writing a java applet for submitting.. that could resize the image and then send the converted image to a php file via post... i got it running sending text but lost to much time in figuring out how to to send an image...

my question: is there something out there that would do the job????
