If the script should resize and save thumb I use this simple code:

<?php
/**
 * Make thumbs from JPEG, PNG, GIF source file
 *
 * $tmpname = $_FILES['source']['tmp_name'];    
 * $size - max width size
 * $save_dir - destination folder
 * $save_name - tnumb new name
 * 
 * Author:  LEDok - http://www.citadelavto.ru/
 */

function img_resize( $tmpname, $size, $save_dir, $save_name )
    {
    $save_dir .= ( substr($save_dir,-1) != "/") ? "/" : "";
        $gis       = GetImageSize($tmpname);
    $type       = $gis[2];
    switch($type)
        {
        case "1": $imorig = imagecreatefromgif($tmpname); break;
        case "2": $imorig = imagecreatefromjpeg($tmpname);break;
        case "3": $imorig = imagecreatefrompng($tmpname); break;
        default:  $imorig = imagecreatefromjpeg($tmpname);
        } 

        $x = imageSX($imorig);
        $y = imageSY($imorig);
        if($gis[0] <= $size)
        {
        $av = $x;
        $ah = $y;
        }
            else
        {
            $yc = $y*1.3333333;
            $d = $x>$yc?$x:$yc;
            $c = $d>$size ? $size/$d : $size;
              $av = $x*$c;        //высота исходной картинки
              $ah = $y*$c;        //длина исходной картинки
        }    
        $im = imagecreate($av, $ah);
        $im = imagecreatetruecolor($av,$ah);
    if (imagecopyresampled($im,$imorig , 0,0,0,0,$av,$ah,$x,$y))
        if (imagejpeg($im, $save_dir.$save_name))
            return true;
            else
            return false;
    }

?>

And now how using this function fast

<?php
if ($_POST[pic])
{
$tmpname  = $_FILES['pic']['tmp_name'];
@img_resize( $tmpname , 600 , "../album" , "album_".$id.".jpg");
@img_resize( $tmpname , 120 , "../album" , "album_".$id."_small.jpg");
@img_resize( $tmpname , 60 , "../album" , "album_".$id."verysmall.jpg");
}
else
echo "No Images uploaded via POST";
?>
