Well first of all the HTML image tag you provided '<img...>' really have no play in processing for PHP or Apache. This is pass-through code. In other words you are parsing this via PHP to build the filename for the img src= attribute but the fact the file does not actually exist is not a concern of PHP nor Apache. Only the user's browser cares even a little. Also, if your image is large say 600x400 and you limit the size via width=80 or height=80 in the <img> tag, you are still forcing Apache to deliver the full sized image. The width and height are only to control display proportions. As a suggestion why not install ImageMagick to convert your images to thumbs or whatever. http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php --- "Marcos R.
