creating thumbnails without saving them

I need to create a page that will automatically create a thumbnail from all images if selected folder and show them on the same page. But the thing is, I don't want to save them. I want to display them on the same page without saving. And I need to do that in PHP. Is it possible? Please help! Note: If that is not possible,I can put them in some folder.

replace this line

list($width, $height) = getimagesize($im);

with this

list($width, $height) = getimagesize("image.png");

You might also consider using data URIs. Use the code in DRP96's answer to create the thumbnail, but instead of doing it in a separate PHP and requiring many image requests, embed the images directly on the page.

Most modern browsers support data URIs now, but as usual, watch out for IE.

You have to make a second PHP-file then. You have to make an image tag in the first file <img src='image.php' /> and in this image.php you have to print out the image like:

header("Content-type: image/png");

$im     = imagecreatefrompng("image.png");
list($width, $height) = getimagesize($im);
$newimage = imagecreatetruecolor($new_width, $new_height);
imagecopyresampled($newimage, $im, 0, 0, 0, 0, "100", "100", $width, $height);

imagepng($newimage);
imagedestroy($newimage);
imagedestroy($im);
