I have a question about image uploads. I am creating a form that users can upload images through. I know how to take an image and store it in a directory and i am saving the path in the database, thats not what I need. What I am wondering is what parameters should i be holding to. I have been told to use imagemagick if it is on my hot but I would rather do it manually if possible. Basically, what is a good max_file_size? What extentions whould i allow? I want to store the image as both a thumbnail and a image no bigger then 1024 wide (if this should be smaller I would appreciate the advice).

Hi.
I would look at what upload times would be for the sizes of images.
say a 1mb image is uploaded at 30kbps, that would take over 30 seconds (and the request may time out)
imagemagick is simply used to resize any image after it has been uploaded to the host. This is done by executing the 'convert' program via your script.
