Make a scrript that can be integrated into a PHP program. that will create thumbnails of a specifc height and width from animated gifs. This is the PHP code that is presently being used: $make_magick = system("/usr/bin/convert -geometry $tn_width x $tn_height $current_file $thumb_name",$retval); $tn_width and $tn_height are defined to create a thumbnail whose maximum width or height is 80 pixels. $current_file is the file to be thumbnailed with it's full path $thumb_name if the thumbnail to be created with it's full path. $retval is the returned value which indicates if the thumbnail was created successfully. This code works fine for everything except animated gifs. However with animated gifs it is 'flakey' -- It sometimes produces good thumb nails and othert times it doesn't, presumably because of the exact nature of the animated gif. Sometimes it produces no thumbnail at all.
