GD2 image watermarking question - GoFuckYourself.com

mkx · 10-26-2010, 09:20 AM

With GD2 does the script automatically watermark anything in say a certain directory? Or do you actually have to run a script to watermark the images permanently? Like if I put a bunch of images in a folder and and view them on the net would they automatically have the watermark, and when i download them back from ftp the watermark will be gone?

Are you referring to the GD2 Image Library?

Or has someone named their script after the GD2 Image Library?

Yah GD2 image library

Basically I want to watermark any images on the server in a certain directory without having to run a script, it should basically say hey this image is in this directory so it needs this watermark, and places it over it automatically, but if you dl the file in ftp, it has no watermark.

picture watermarks are permanent...

the only way I could see images getting watermarked in a folder automatically is if it was attached to the upload script itself or if it was a script ran through a cronjob

In either case, you'd need to keep a separate (original) folder with all the original unwatermarked files, and a separate watermarked folder...

Might be able to find something online to facilitate this - otherwise it would be a pretty basic job for a scriptlance indian to take on - 50-60$ - 1 day turn around.

mr brucius, not good enough... okay?

It shouldn't take more than a couple hours to whip up a simple watermarking script. An experienced developer should probably have a code bit just laying around to handle it.

If you know PHP at all it can literally be done in about 10 lines of code...

Just Google, "PHP script gd watermark" and there's a plethora of free ones out there.

you need a script, it's not going to happen by itself..

It can be done with htaccess and php.

GD2 is a library not a script. You will need to have code that actually uses it in order to watermark.

When you watermark the image it will modify it. So you have an original and you save an alternate version. As long as you only upload the watermarked version there is no way for them to get at the original.
