I'm actually amazed this snippet still works after all these years. :)

Hi, thanks for the script any idea to limit the rgeneration process only to some product_id?

Made my day.

If you are gonna use this, and you gonna place it somewhere under your public_html/http_docs/whatever public folder accessible over http, you should add that bit on top of the script, as otherwise you may be introducing a security issue on your server:

if (php_sapi_name() !== 'cli') {
    die();
}

THANK YOU SO MUCH

regenerate-images.php works on Prestashop 1.7.8.9
Thank you++++

Hi everybody, does someone has the same kind of code for PrestaShop 8.1 ?

Hey,

I've not developed anything for Prestashop in years. Feel free to fork and to integrate that elsewhere :) it's been a pleasure to serve y'all.
