Graphics
2.4Basic Graphics concept
• In web we can use images in the form of logos, buttons, photographs,
charts, advertisements, and icons PHP supports graphics creation with
the GD and lilimb2 extensions.
• Creating an image: to create an image in memory to work with,
imagecreate(x_size, y_size); function.
• To set colors to be used in the image, imagecolorallocate() function
• imagecolorallocate(image, red, green, blue) ; color value 0-255
• To send aJPEG image back to the browser, use header function to set
the image’s type & then send image with imagejpeg() function.
• Also can use imagegif(), imagewbmp(), imagepng().
• After sending image can use imagedestroy() function.
• Images with text: imagesting() function used to draw string
horizontally at given position.
• bool imagestring($img, $font, $x, $y, $string, $color)
Image create program
<?php
header("Content-type:image/png");
$handle=imagecreate(130,50);
$bg_color=imagecolorallocate($handle,240,240,140);
$txt_color=imagecolorallocate($handle,0,0,0);
imagestring($handle,5,5,18,"MSBTE.org.in",$txt_color);
imagepng($handle);
?>
Embedding created images in HTML pages
<html>
<head>
<title>
Embedding created images in HTML pages
</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2> Embedding created images in HTML pages </h2>
This is a blank image created on the server:
<br>
<img src="img2.php">
</body>
</html>
Scaling images
• To change size of an image we have 2 functions as
• imageCopyResized()
• imagecopyResampled()
• Resampled function has features pixel interpolation to give smooth
edges and clarity to resized images so it is slow than resized.
• Copies a rectangular portion of 1 image to another image, smoothly
interpolating pixel values. Reduce size but retain clarity.

• Imagecopyresized($dst,$src,0,0,0,0,$x,$y,$width,$height);

• destination image link, source image, x,y –coordinate of destination,


x,y-coordinates of source point, destination width, height, source
width, height
• ImageCopyResampled($dst,$src,0,0,0,0,$x,$y,$width,$height);
Scaling images program1
<?php
$src=ImageCreateFromJPEG('php.jpg');
$width=ImageSx($src);
$height=ImageSy($src);
$x=$width/2;
$y=$height/2;
$dst=ImageCreateTrueColor($x,$y);
ImageCopyResampled($dst,$src,0,0,0,0,$x,$y,$width,$height);
header('Content-Type:image/png');
ImagePNG($dst);
?>
Scaling images program2
<?php
$src=ImageCreateFromJPEG('php.jpg');
$width=ImageSx($src);
$height=ImageSy($src);
$x=$width/2;
$y=$height/2;
$dst=ImageCreateTrueColor($x,$y);
Imagecopyresized($dst,$src,0,0,0,0,$x,$y,$width,$height);
header('Content-Type:image/png');
ImagePNG($dst);
?>
Creation of PDF document
• FPDF is a PHP class which allows to generate PDF files with PHP.
• F stands for free. It is free to use and it does not require API.
Advantages of FPDF
• Choice of measure unit, page format and margins
• Allow to set page header and footer management
• It provides automatic line break, page break & text justification
• It supports images in various formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF)
• It allows to set up colors, links, TrueType, Type1 & encoding
support
• It allows page compression

Include() & require() function
• We can include the content of a PHP file into another PHP file
before the server executes it.
• Include() function & require() function: takes all the text in a
specified file and copies it into the file that uses the include
function.
• If there is any problem in loading a file then the include()
function generates a warning but script will continue execution.
• If there is any problem in loading a file then the require()
function generates a fatal error and halt execution of script.
Creation of PDF document
<?php
require('fpdf.php');
$pdf=new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
$pdf->Cell(60,10,'Hello PHP World!',1,1,'C');
$pdf->Output();
?>
Cell(w, h, txt, border, ln, align, fill, link)
•W- cell width
•H-cell height
•Txt- string to print
•Border- 0(no border) 1(frame)
•Ln- current position should go after call (o:to right 1: to next line 2: below)
•Align- L-left R-right C-center
•Fill-cell background true , transparent false(default value)
•Link- URL
