I've run into a problem drawing emoji that are under the 'Miscellaneous Symbols And Pictographs' unicode block. Here is an example code: <?php header('Content-Type: image/png'); $im = imagecreatetruecolor(290, 60); $grey = imagecolorallocate($im, 200, 200, 200); $black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0); imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 289, 59, $grey); $font = 'seguisym.ttf'; $font = realpath($font); //🌀 is the unicode html entity for a cyclone. It is under 'Miscellaneous Symbols And Pictographs'. $text = "🌀 is a cyclone!"; imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 5, 22, $black, $font, $text); //⛄ is the

A simple PHP script that I picked up from stackoverflow generates a PNG with a transparent background, writes some text on it then directly outputs it to the client browser: $font = 25; $string = 'My Text'; $im = @imagecreatetruecolor(300, 300); imagesavealpha($im, true); imagealphablending($im, false); $white = imagecolorallocatealpha($im, 255, 255, 255, 127); $red = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 0, 0); imagefill($im, 0, 0, $white); $lime = imagecolorallocate($im, 204, 255, 51); imagettftext($im, $font, 0, 0, 30, $red, "fonts/tt0588m_.ttf", $string); header("Content-type: image/png"); imagepng

Is there a reasonably straightforward way to copy a circular area from one image resource to another? Something like imagecopymerge except with circles or ovals etc? If possible, I want to avoid having to use pre-created image files (any oval shape should be possible), and if there's transparency colours involved they should naturally leave the rest of the image alone. Reason I'm asking, I have a few classes that allow to apply image operations inside a "selected area" of an image, which works by first deleting that area from a copy of the image, then overlaying the copy back on the original.

I am currently using a php gd implementation to resize images which constantly runs out of memory - rather quickly. I guess the problem are the php functions, like imagecreatefromstring etc. Is there an easy implementation to resizing images which doesn't use this functions, so I won't have to increase my php.ini memory limit? GD don't use that much memory, so you have other problems in your code. If you resize multiple images and don't call imagedestroy on a newly created image, you run in memory leaks. here is a PHP function for you function make_thumb($src, $dest, $desired_width,$desired_h)

This question has been asked over and over but I could not find the correct answer to my problem... As a little background note, all the code was working perfectly before we moved the class file from /application/lib/class to /library/class ... I have tried to play with GDFONTPATH, relative, absolute paths with and without the file extension to no avail. Here is some of the lines we have tried so far: putenv('GDFONTPATH=' . realpath(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'fonts')); /*1*/ $FontName = dirname(dirname(__FILE__)).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'fonts'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.basename(
