Convert png file to ico with PHP

Question

I would like to create a PHP script that convert a png file to an ico file. Is it possible to do it just with PHP ? How ?

Thanks !!!

Answer 1

There is no easy way to do this directly though php built in libraries. To write an ico file, you will need to write individual bits and bytes by hand to suit the file format. The easiest way would be to use a third party library.

phpthumb is a good tool for this.
