Hello Freelancers,

This is what I need (please sorry my bad English)

I need a php routine to create website thumbshots. I have an mysql database with 15000 urls and I need to create thumbshots of this links in 2 or 3 diferente sizes.
Everyday I get more links to this database and I need to create the thumbshots for them also.
I don't know if this is better in a linux or windows server, please explain this also.
If it's better in a windows host, could a shared account be enough or I need a dedicated machine ?

this is what I need the script to do:

- call it to create the thumb: create.php?url=http://www.sitename.com&size=1
(size 1 can be 200x200, size 2 400x300..well this can be typed on config file)
(the script must create the thumbshot even if the site is made with flash))
(the script will create the thumbs on a cache directory)

- call it to show the thumb: thumbs.php?url=http://www.sitename.com&size=1
(if the thumb is not available, show a default image)
(if the thumb is on creation process, show a default image)

Please don't show me the web solutions like thumshots.com, thumshots.org and others.. I already know them.. ( and already pay alot for his services ). I need my own solution.

Thank you for your time on this subject,
panob
