I need to convert (resize, and store as blob's in a mysql db) images my
users can upload. I'm wondering what the best conversion tool is... I'm
considering ImageMagick... Is this the best?

Is their anything that is integrated with PHP itself?

consider using something you know for starters, then expand?
as for the question itself, yes is it the best?
anyone?

Best is subjective, does it work the best? IMO yes, it's the best tool,
but keep in mind, this makes your script less portable, not all hosts
will allow you to run the 'convert' binary, nor will all installations
have it readily available (Windows doesn't come with ImageMagick by
default). It works the best for the applications I've written so far,
but the PHP gd functions are just as powerful and probably more
portable.. so without knowing all your requirements, it's hard to give a
definitive answer .

I've been using ImageMagick pretty much since 1997, I'm probably biased
or ignorant of other tools that are probably available to people these
days . But, ImageMagick still works wonderfully for me, so.. yes it's
the best .
