Question

Is there any simple way to add a image border around an image?

Reason is I want to create a drop-shadow effect around the image.

The images are loaded as thumbnails and are 110×75 px… Im thinking about creating a shadow border, but dont know how to add this to around the image, anybody know a way?

PHP preferrably…

You can use the GD library or ImageMagick to alter the actual image in PHP, but you can also achieve a similar effect in CSS, if it is only required on a web page.

There is a complete tutorial on doing it with PHP and GD here:
