Slideshow Script Error

I have a slideshow script which I have used on my website, I have copied it from a tutorial which I found.
The main script file is a xls file which holds all the commands for which it seems to calculate the size of the image and then displays it.
It also uses and xml file which is linked to the xls and this files stores the
image files and captions for the photo's.
The slideshow usually works like a treat but occassionally it display this message. "ups height is too large for image" this line is in the xls script file along with "ups width is too large for image" the width message has never appeared it just seems to be the height error.
I don't have enough knowledge to sort this out, does anyone know why this is happens? when this error occurs if I clear my history and cache down and then go back into my website it works ok.

Here is the script below:

    I've fixed your code view by enclosing it in PHP tags :)
