Resize Images Without Keeping Original Image

[tennis_fan]

What I would like to do is resize an image and create a new file with that size then delete the original. I have found where it's possible but the quality is crap. I have another script where the quality is great but the original image is still on the server.

How can I create a new, good quality image, without having the original stick around sucking up space?

Could you not just use unlink() to delete the image file that you don't want (after resizing of course)?

It's not the best scenario

You should be concerned with glithches; imagine a situation where your img is del w/out backup:)

Try moving it to a tmp file and then when all systems go del its content in batch mode.
