php thumbnail resize html tag best practice

    Hey guys quick question

    Im creating an online photo gallery as part of the script I take a folder full of photos then loop through the folder determining the path to each photo (photoURL) and printing out a line of code to display the photo- similiar to that below:

    <td><img src="photos.php?'photoUrl" onclick=window.open("photoUrl');></td>;

    My question is would it be better for me to incorporate the resizing script in the script that prints the img html - so I would do something like this ($im is the resized image.);

    <td><img src="$im" onclick=window.open("photoUrl');></td>;

    A large portion of my users will be on 56k so would using $im make the photos load faster?

    Does using "photos.php?'photoUrl" mean that for every photo the browser is doing a http request to photos.php which is then displaying the photo - that seems very inefficient to me.

    I hope that makes sense :)

    Thanks for your help.
