The Imagecache module will do

The Imagecache module will do this for you. Look in the module folder for directions on how to use its API.

thanks for your reply. I dont want any module for thumbnail creation. I want to know whether there is any function in drupal 6 to create run time thumbnail.

For example, In custom php we will use like, . In this the original image will not be converted. Just for display thumb.php will create thumbnail image. I need a function like this.

Hope you understand my issue.

I understand exactly what you

I understand exactly what you are saying. There are no functions in Drupal 6 core for creating thumbnails. But there are in the imagecache module. Either that or you can set up an image library and just create your own functions.

thanks.how to write our own

thanks.how to write our own image library like any custom module or any other way?

If you don't know how to do

If you don't know how to do it, then you should use imagecache. That's what the module does - it resizes images without having to do any programming on your own. I really can't see any reason not to use it.
