How do you know when your scripts are being bad?

All I have is a few database calls to get some data to print as text, and a script that resizes images into thumbnails.

So how do I figure out what the problem with my scripts is?

First step - examine the error log.

That seems like a red flag to me. What sort of image sizes are we talking about? Are there a lot of images? Are you using the GD library? How are you creating the thumbnails?

Thanks. I think I'll start a new thread about the thumbnail creation since I have some questions about it that are separate from this discussion.
