PHP image resize on the fly vs storing resized images
I was wondering what is the best, fastest and most resource efficient way to resize images on the fly? I have the idea of generating thumbnails and special sizes of images from a photo gallery on-the-fly when they are requested.
Is this a good idea? and what is the best way?
PHP, Imagemagick, litespeed server
I have successfully created a on the fly image refactoring application using Imagemagick. The performance is great and I am able to resize/crop/watermark/reformat etc all via a restful request. I use memcache to cache the binary blob of the refactored image and this gives me a massive performance boost.
EDIT: I used the Java Imagemagick libs initially and kept running into issues, the PHP libs are far better imho ( this was about a year ago, its possible that the Java libs have improved )
