draw.php

Draw.php is a one file tool for a inline image thumbnails that works in real-time.

Description

This tool allow you to just use the basic <img /> tag and to implement thumbnail size images. If the cache file structure is available and writable the tool will store the resized thumbnails there and will reuse them in the future (instead of creating the thumbnails on the fly).
