Add watermark and resize image PHP script?
 

Hiya,

anyone know where i can get a simple (and free) PHP script that will

Take the image that a user uplaods
Add an alpha transparency watermark
resize it to a fixed size

and then pass it back to my script to insert it into the database

Ive done a fair bit of googling on this but come up with nothing. I understand it'll need to use imagemagic.

Thanks guys

hiya,

i need the watermark to be permanent

thanks

bump for anyone who knows a bit of imagemagick :)

Here's the docs for the imagemagick command line tools. If had a bit more time I'd actually get into the php api to see what they have.

Im pretty sure you can also use the GD libs in php to get this done.

Standalone using php
 

I was interested in this topic also.

This code snippet will resize an image. (Remarkable what a pain in the ass such a basic operation is.) See below the example for combining images of different sizes or writing text directly to an image.

If you want to save the image you can add a path to imagejpeg (see ca3.php.net/manual/en/function.getimagesize.php for another similar example).

<?php
$upload = $_FILES['img'];
if ($upload['type'] != 'image/jpeg') die("only jpeg files are supported not {$upload['type']}!");
$resize_pct = $_REQUEST['resize_pct'];
if ($resize_pct < 0 or $resize_pct > 100) die("bad resize value $resize_pct!");

$img = imagecreatefromjpeg($upload['tmp_name']);
if (!$img) die('error processing image');
$dims = getimagesize($upload['tmp_name']);

$newx = sprintf('%d',$dims[0] * $resize_pct / 100);
$newy = sprintf('%d',$dims[1] * $resize_pct / 100);

$newimg = imagecreatetruecolor($newx,$newy);
imagecopyresampled($newimg,$img,0,0,0,0,$newx,$new y,$dims[0],$dims[1]);

# test output
header("content-type: image/jpeg");
imagejpeg($img);
--------------------------------------------------------

If you are using the same watermark or have a watermark graphic your best bet is to combine the images together.

ca3.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecopymerge.php
Has example.

If you want to use truetype or postscript fonts (requires external libraries).

ca3.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettftext.php
ca3.php.net/manual/en/function.imagepstext.php

A more bare bones approach could use the imagechar or imagestring functions.

ca3.php.net/manual/en/function.imagechar.php
ca3.php.net/manual/en/function.imagestring.php

minor correction
 

it should read imagejpeg($newimg) at the end of the code snippet.

to write to a file remove the header("content-type: image/jpeg");
and change imagejpeg($newimg) to imagejpeg($newimg,"some/image/path");

you'd want to do any other transformations after the imagecopyresampled function.

woah dude, thanks :thumbsup
