With php gd is the image function library of php. The functions include in this library enable php users to creating image up to manipulating photos. PHP gd can create with file extension of jpg, gif, swf, tiff and jpeg2000. Installation see http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php. Astahost hosting service has enable gd library, so won’t need any extra works except in coding. Lets get started, creating images from php set the canvas: CODE
$img = imagecreate(250, 80)
imagecreatethis function create and set a blank canvas with the wide of 250 pixels and height of 80 pixels. setting the basic colors: CODE
$black = imagecolorallocate($img, 0, 0, 0)
$white = imagecolorallocate($img, 255, 255, 255)
$red = imagecolorallocate($img, 255, 0, 0)
$green = imagecolorallocate($img, 0, 0, 255)
imagecolorallocate $img represent the canvas. the next three value is color value in rgb(0-255), you also set the color in hex (0x00 – 0xff). drawing a something: CODE
imagerectangle($img, 10, 10, 240, 70, $white)
imagerectangle this function create a rectangle a width of 230[240(x2) – 10(x1)] and a height of 60[70(y2) – 10(y1)]. $img the canvas, the first two value sets the starting point(x1, y1) . and last two number is the ending(x2, y2). And the last value is the color. CODE
imagefilledrectangle($img, 20, 20, 60, 60, $red)
imagefilledrectangle this function create a filled rectangle with a color red. All values is the same as the imagerectangle function. CODE
imagefilledellipse($img, 90, 40, 40, 40, $blue)
imagefilledellipse this one creates an ellipse(circular objects). $img is the canvas, the first two value(cx, cy) set the origin(center) of the ellipse. The third value set the width(horizontal width) and fifth one is the height(vertical width). Last but not the least the color value. CODE
$corners = array(
0 => 190,
1 => 60,
2 => 210,
3 => 20,
4 => 230,
5 => 60,
);
imagefilledpolygon($img, $corners, 3, $white);
imagefilledellipse and the last drawing function I discuss is a polygon function, in the example there’s only 3 corners. The first value is the canvas, the second one is the corners in array, the value 3 is the number of vertices, and the last one is color. Showing the graphics: CODE
header("Content-type: image/jpeg")
imagejpeg($img)
header imagejpeg To output the image you must first send the appropriate header, in this example I use jpg extension and the content type is set to “image/jpeg”. And call the imagejpeg function to create the images and shown up to the browser. For other file type such as png(image/png), gif(image/gif), windows bitmap(image/vnd.wap.wbmp), check php manual for details. And finally, use the imagedestroy function just to clear up the memory used by the imagecreate functions. Final code should look like this. CODE
<?php
$img = imagecreate(250,80);
$black = imagecolorallocate($img, 0, 0, 0);
$white = imagecolorallocate($img, 255, 255, 255);
$red = imagecolorallocate($img, 255, 0, 0);
$green = imagecolorallocate($img, 0, 255, 0);
$blue = imagecolorallocate($img, 0, 0, 255);
$corners = array(
0 => 190,
1 => 60,
2 => 210,
3 => 20,
4 => 230,
5 => 60,
);
imagerectangle($img, 10, 10, 240, 70, $white);
imagefilledrectangle($img, 20, 20, 60, 60, $red);
imagefilledellipse($img, 90, 40, 40, 40, $blue);
imagefilledellipse($img, 150, 40, 70, 40, $green);
imagefilledpolygon($img, $corners, 3, $white);
header ("Content-type: image/jpeg");
imagejpeg($img);
imagedestroy($img);
?>
enjoy

well, to give you an idea what you could use this for: thumbnails i'm a lazy kid so i upload my pictures with ftp then some guy/girl visits my site and my picture page he opens the directory with the new pictures the script checks all the pictures and checks if they all have a thumbnail (if a filed is called blabla.jpg, the thumb is called .blabla.jpg, so it's invisible too) if there isn't, i make one with gd!!! it's great. i never have to make pages anymore, never make thumbs,... gd rocks quite a lot!

Maybe the GD library is not enabled... Wait for tomorrow and see what happends... By the way... I made a picture gallery with PHP+GD... If anyone would like to I can make a tutorial to create thumbnails and stuff... Also an advice: Don't use: CODE imagecreate($width,$height) That could make your pictures look preaty bad... Use: CODE imagecreatetruecolor($width,$height) That makes it look exactly like is and you won't lose the image quality... If you can't use the GD library you could use ImageMagic too.. is a library that can do the same and more... Hope it helps...

QUOTE(vladimir @ Dec 28 2004, 04:29 AM)  What is actually the path for GD graphics library? I need it for my coppermine galery.
I would like to upload it manually because I'm using my own database...but I don't know the path for the GD. I have a backup of the mysql database I already used on a different server. It works fine, but just the thumbnails are not displayed.
Maybe somebody knows how to install/use GD for a coppermine picture galery? Thanks in advance for your help. GD library isn't related to any of the user-libraries and scripts, like coppermine gallery etc., but strictly to PHP. You have to install or upgrade your PHP at the server so it contains GD. Try doing this, for an example. Download PHP source from PHP.NET (try getting the version you already have installed) and, if you're on Linux, do the following: 1. Unpack the PHP package you got 2. Change directory into the created PHP directory. 3. Type: ./configure --with-gd 4. If configuration successfull, type: make (not "make install", and not necessarily as root) Once compilation process is over, look into the "modules" directory. A library with .so extension should be there so just copy it into your local "modules" directory for PHP (usually /usr/lib/php/modules or similar). Restart your web server. Cheers
