Fileman 0.3 BETA: Website media file preprocessor

Fileman is a free, open source Website media file preprocessor, built on top of the TimThumb thumbnailer script. Use it in place of file URLs like so:

<img src="/file.php?src=whatever.jpg&amp;w=100&amp;q=60" />

You can use URL rewriting (such as Apache's mod_rewrite) to have Fileman process media files without changing your existing HTML code.

Features

  • Resize, crop and compress images
  • Support for any file type
  • Support for multiple file locations, including remote servers (Fileman will check each location in order for the specified file)
  • Specify Content-Disposition (stream or 'Save file as...') by MIME type and/or for specific files
  • Drop-in replacement for TimThumb (no HTML changes necessary)
  • Cache
  • Proper HTTP response codes in production mode
  • Helpful error messages in debug mode

Note: Due to the advanced features, Fileman is not as efficient as TimThumb. If all you need to do is resize images, use TimThumb instead. You can always switch to Fileman later.
