Whats the purpose of copying the same file and wasting the server resource? Why cant you reuse the same image for your different purpose?
kinda true @ that comment. why merely (over) copy -> just point to orig image shud work fine !
it will help decide what is needed if you claify or elaborate on the '..or modifiy it" part - the functional requirement ?
thanks for the replies
i need to resize and crop the original image, then write the new image to a folder outside of the filestore. outside the filestore so that i don't have to load the whole elgg engine to serve each image. i've written a simple script that serves the images and i am using .htaccess to obscure the true location of the images
