I made a Multifunction Image Handler PHP Script
Ken True has a imaging caching script, but this one has many new features and more flexibility.
Multifunction Image Handler PHP Script:
This script is a very easy to use multifunction image handler script
for your weather web site. The caching feature makes it the perfect
solution to gracefully "hot link" an image from another web site.
Some of the many features include: * Supports .jpg .gif and .png, download an image, cache the image, display the image
* Supports remote images or local images on your web server
* Convert the image type(optional)
* Crop the image(optional)
* Resize the image(optional)
* Resize the image preserving aspect ratio(optional)
* Jpeg compression(optional)
* Annotate text on the image(optional)
* Multi line text support(optional)
* Text alignment options(optional)
* Text margin options(optional)
* Text color options(optional)
* Auto archive/rotate images with or without thumbs,
this feature can be utilized for web cam image archiving(optional),
* Outputs most errors as an image with error code.

http://www.proweatherstore.com/weather/scripts.phpWarning: always make sure you have permission
to "hot link" images from other web sites. This script is designed to be a more
graceful way to link other site's images, asking for their permission,
and excluding their content from your copyright is absolutely recommended.
