eholz1,
The thumbnailing you mention can easily be done using calls to gdlib
functions. I do pretty much exactly what your talking about right now
on a couple sites. When a user uploads an image i thumbnail it and save
the thumbnail and main image to the db setting the parent id of the
thumbnail to the main images id.
Google something like "php thumbnail gdlib" and youll prolly come up
with a dozen tutorials or examples.
