The Bakery Everything CakePHP

phpThumb is a great thumbnail generator, it can generate thumbs with GD, GD2 or ImageMagick. There are many features like crop, rotate, watermark,... see all the features on the phpThumb homepage.

Here's a simple phpThumb helper with built in cache support. If an image is already cached when using this helper, it just displays the cached image tag without having to instantiate a phpThumb object.

Note: I haven't done any sort of testing with this helper on a production website. Only on a dev site so there's a chance some bugs could creep in that I haven't experienced yet.
