You don't need PHP. Just define your image sizes in your CSS or HTML. Let me know if I have misunderstood.

Hi.

You can either simply set the image size in your HTML or CSS, which would instruct the browser to download the full-size image and resize it for you. (Which works pretty well in all browsers except IE, which does an awful job at resizing them)

Or, you can have PHP resize it before it sends it to the browser.
See the imagecopyresamp led function for that.

You would have to take into account 'constraining' the image proportions. A file that is 500*1000 will not resize gracefully into 300*300.

If you are down sizing an image its "quality" will degrade no matter what simply because there will be fewer pixels/per area and thus less detail. It has been mentioned above, but you will indeed need to pay attention to the aspect ratio of the image.
Indeed using HTML or CSS will resize your image however different browsers have certain compatibility quirks so I would recommend you re-sample the image with PHP in order to produce consistent cross browser results.
