Hi there,

I have a list of links which point to e.g.
thescript.php?album=somePictures1
thescript.php?album=somePictures2

This list is about 3000 links. Each album may have 500 or more pictures in it.
the script looks in the specified dir, and creates thumbnails if they are not
present. So, displaying a particular album often takes quite a while. I've set
the proper php.ini stuff to accomodate the long script_execution's. Thats all
working fine.

Now, I dont want the end user to have to wait for the thumbs if they land on an
album that has not yet had thumbnails created.

So the question is, what is the best way to run all those links automatically,
thereby creating all the thumbs?

Thanks for your time,
