Answer 1

Try the imagecopyresized function,
which is built in,
need not to re-compile (your share hosting will be happy),
and provide almost simple feature for image processing

Jquery is clients javascript library,
it does not help with image processing

Answer 2

The problem is that your memory is getting full if you try to resize a very large image with GD library.

You sould use ImageMagick. use the following code

exec("source -resize size destination");

So if you want to resize logo.gif with a maximum size of 64x64 and rename it to resize_logo.gif

exec("convert logo.gif -resize 64x64  resize_logo.gif");
