Working With Images

[CLINT]

Ok, I am really getting into creating images from php.
I want to make a script where by people can create their own 'designer wallpaper'.

Here is a simple script that will let you use fonts in your text.

<?php
  Header("Content-type: image/gif");
  if(!isset($s)) $s=11;
  $size = imagettfbbox($s,0,"/$font",$text);
  $dx = abs($size[2]-$size[0]);
  $dy = abs($size[5]-$size[3]);
  $xpad=15;
  $ypad=15;
  $im =imagecreate($dx+$xpad,$dy+$ypad);
  $blue = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0x2c,0x6D,0xAF); //background
  $black = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0,0,0);//outline
  $white = ImageColorAllocate($im, 255,255,255); //text colour
  ImageRectangle($im,0,0,$dx+$xpad-1,$dy+$ypad-1,$black);
  ImageRectangle($im,0,0,$dx+$xpad,$dy+$ypad,$white);
  ImageTTFText($im, $s, 0, (int)($xpad/2)+1, $dy+(int)($ypad/2), $black, "/$font", $text);
  ImageTTFText($im, $s, 0, (int)($xpad/2), $dy+(int)($ypad/2)-1, $white, "/$font", $text);
  ImageGif($im);
  ImageDestroy($im);
?>

Just add some fonts in the same DIR as this script.
Now link to ThisFile.php?text=SomeText&font=Somefont.ttf

But how do we add a picture into this script?
So that we can edit some picture.gif to make our wallpaper.

Nice question....
You can use GD functions...

To edit a GIF image , use imagecreatefromGIF(filename); function.
To edit a JPEG image , use imagecreatefromJPEG(filename); function.
To edit a PNG image , use imagecreatefromPNG(filename); function.
To edit a WBMP image , use imagecreatefromWBMP(filename); function.
To edit a GIF image , use imagecreatefromgif(filename); function.


You can also find an image from a string and edit it with,

imagecreatefromSTRING(stringvar);

.

Also , Good-Luck k: for your imagecreating script.
Hope you share it with us.

imagecreatefromjpeg(PHP 3>= 3.0.16, PHP 4 >= 4.0.0)
Create a new image from file or URL
resource imagecreatefromjpeg ( string filename) \linebreak
imagecreatefromjpeg() returns an image identifier representing the image obtained from the given
filename.
imagecreatefromjpeg() returns an empty string on failure. It also outputs an error message, which
unfortunately displays as a broken link in a browser. To ease debugging the following example will
produce an error JPEG:
Example 1. Example to handle an error during creation (courtesy vic@zymsys.com )

function LoadJpeg ($imgname) {
$im = @imagecreatefromjpeg ($imgname); /* Attempt to open */
if (!$im) { /* See if it failed */
$im = imagecreate (150, 30); /* Create a blank image */
$bgc = imagecolorallocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
$tc = imagecolorallocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
imagefilledrectangle ($im, 0, 0, 150, 30, $bgc);
/* Output an errmsg */
imagestring ($im, 1, 5, 5, "Error loading $imgname", $tc);
}
return $im;
}
