imagegif

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

imagegif — Exportar la imagen al navegador o a un fichero

Descripción

imagegif(resource $image, string $filename = ?): bool

imagegif() crea el archivo GIF en filename desde la imagen image. El argumento image es el devuelto por la función imagecreate() o imagecreatefrom*.

El formato de la imagen será GIF87a a menos que la imagen haya sido hecha transparente con imagecolortransparent(), en cuyo caso el formato de la imagen será GIF89a.

Parámetros

image: Un recurso image, es devuelto por una de las funciones de creación de imágenes, como imagecreatetruecolor().
filename: La ruta o un recurso de flujo de apertura (el cual se cierra automáticamente después de que devuelva esta función) donde guardar el fichero. Si no se establece, o su valor es null, se mostrará directamente en la salida el flujo de imagen sin tratar.

Valores devueltos

Devuelve true en caso de éxito o false en caso de error.

Ejemplos

Ejemplo #1 Imprimir una imagen usando imagegif()

<?php
// Crear una nueva instancia de imagen
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(100, 100);

// Hacer el fondo blanco
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 99, 99, 0xFFFFFF);

// Dibujar una cadena de texto en la imagen
imagestring($im, 3, 40, 20, 'Biblioteca GD', 0xFFBA00);

// Imprimir la imagen al navegador
header('Content-Type: image/gif');

imagegif($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

Ejemplo #2 Convertir una imagen PNG en GIF usando imagegif()

<?php

// Cargar el PNG
$png = imagecreatefrompng('./php.png');

// Guardar la imagen como un GIF
imagegif($png, './php.gif');

// Liberar memoria
imagedestroy($png);

// Hemos acabado
echo '¡La converisón de la imagen PNG a GIF tuvo éxtio!';
?>

Notas

Nota:
El soporte para GIF se eliminó de la biblioteca GD en la Versión 1.6, y se volvió a añdir en la Versión 2.0.28. Esta función no está disponible entre estas versiones. Para más información vea el portal del » Proyecto GD.

El siguiente trozo de código permite escribir apliaciones PHP más portables, autodetectando el tipo de soporte de GD que está disponible. Reemplace la secuencia header ("Content-Type: image/gif"); imagegif ($im); por la secuencia más flexible:

<?php // Crear una nueva instancia de imagen $im = imagecreatetruecolor(100, 100); // Hacer algunas operaciones con la imagen aquí // Gestionar la salida if(function_exists('imagegif')) { // Para GIF header('Content-Type: image/gif'); imagegif($im); } elseif(function_exists('imagejpeg')) { // Para JPEG header('Content-Type: image/jpeg'); imagejpeg($im, NULL, 100); } elseif(function_exists('imagepng')) { // Para PNG header('Content-Type: image/png'); imagepng($im); } elseif(function_exists('imagewbmp')) { // Para WBMP header('Content-Type: image/vnd.wap.wbmp'); imagewbmp($im); } else { imagedestroy($im); die('No hay soporte de imagen en este servidor PHP'); } // Si se encontró soporte para imágenes de uno de estos // cuatro formatos, se libera de la memoria if($im) { imagedestroy($im); } ?>

Nota:
A partir de PHP 4.0.2 se puede usar la funcion imagetypes() en lugar de function_exists() para verificar la presencia de los distintos formatos de imagen soportados:

<?php if(imagetypes() & IMG_GIF) { header('Content-Type: image/gif'); imagegif($im); } elseif(imagetypes() & IMG_JPG) { /* ... etc. */ } ?>

read also RFC2557: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2557.txt

For handling inline images in email.

----





I've been playing around with the "data" URL scheme as proposed by RFC 2397 which states how to perform inline, bas64 encoded images. A number of browsers support this format from some of my tests and would be an interesting way of removing overhead from multiple HTTP connections. Basically, the IMG tag would be:



<IMG SRC="/-/data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODdhMAAwAPAAAAAAAP///ywAAAAAMAAw AAAC8IyPqcvt3wCcDkiLc7C0qwyGHhSWpjQu5yqmCYsapyuvUUlvONmOZtfzgFz ByTB10QgxOR0TqBQejhRNzOfkVJ+5YiUqrXF5Y5lKh/DeuNcP5yLWGsEbtLiOSp a/TPg7JpJHxyendzWTBfX0cxOnKPjgBzi4diinWGdkF8kjdfnycQZXZeYGejmJl ZeGl9i2icVqaNVailT6F5iJ90m6mvuTS4OK05M0vDk0Q4XUtwvKOzrcd3iq9uis F81M1OIcR7lEewwcLp7tuNNkM3uNna3F2JQFo97Vriy/Xl4/f1cf5VWzXyym7PH hhx4dbgYKAAA7" ALT="Larry">



Something like that. Note also that I start the URI with "/-/" before the rest of the data scheme spec. If you don't start it with this, it won't work in a lot of the different browsers I tested (such as IE). Note this is useful for very small images only (as most browsers appear to have a limitation on the size of HTML element data of 1024). Browsers where this syntax worked that I tested are the following:



IE 6.x (windows)

Mozilla 0.97+ (linux)

Opera 5, 6 (windows)

Netscape 4.7+ (mac, windows)

IE 5 (macintosh)



This should work for other image types as well, such as PNG. JPEG files aren't really suggested (usually, these files are too large). BTW - there is no advantage to this method if the image will appear more than ONCE in the page because you will be transmitting the same data multiple times as opposed to just once (most browsers realize that already downloaded data that has multiple references only requires one HTTP call).



Consider using this method if you want to make a single PHP program that outputs both text and an image AND you want to make only on HTTP call. Cheers.

To keep GIF animation, you can try the class writing based on GD

I worked out a script that allows the transfer of alphanumeric data to be placed on an image. The HTML feature is img src and the php feature is imagettftext. This simple code will increment from 1 to 3 on images.

code:

<?php
//ImageCall.php -- This script will call a script to produce the image.
for($next = 1;$next < 4; $next++){
print "Image $next:<br>";
print "<img src = 'Image.php?\$text=$next'>";
print "<br><br>";
}
?>

<?php
//Image.php -- This script creates a square image and places the text on it.

// image size and color
$im = ImageCreate(77,77);
$color1 = ImageColorAllocate($im,0x66,0xCC,0x00);
$color2 = ImageColorAllocate($im,0x33,0x66,0x00);
$color3 = ImageColorAllocate($im,0x00,0x99,0x00);
$color4 = ImageColorAllocate($im,0x3D,0x3D,0x3D);

// image creation
ImageFilledRectangle($im,1,1,76,76,$color1);
ImageFilledpolygon($im, array (76,1,1,76,76,76),3,$color2);
ImageFilledRectangle($im,5,5,72,72,$color3);

// determine numeric center of image
$size = ImageTTFBBox(45,0,'impact',$_GET['$text']);
$X = (77 - (abs($size[2]- $size[0])))/2;
$Y = ((77 - (abs($size[5] - $size[3])))/2 + (abs($size[5] - $size[3])));

//places numeric information on image
ImageTTFText($im,45,0,($X-1),$Y,$color4,'impact',$_GET['$text']);

//returns completed image to calling script
Header('Content-Type: image/png');
Imagegif($im);

to create an animated gif with gifsicle, but without storing temporary images on disk:



<?php

$cmd = 'gifsicle --loop -O1 --multifile --delay 25 - > '.$outfile;

$desc = array(0 => array("pipe", "r"),1 => array("pipe", "w"),2 => array("pipe", "w"));

$proc = proc_open($cmd, $desc, $pipes);

if (!is_resource($proc)) {

  die('Unable to start gifsicle');

}

for ($frame=0; $frame<$total_frames; $frame++) {

  $image = RenderFrame($frame);

  ob_start();

  imagegif($image);

  fwrite($pipes[0], ob_get_contents());

  ob_end_clean();

  imagedestroy($image);

}

fclose($pipes[0]);

fclose($pipes[1]);

fclose($pipes[2]);

proc_close($proc);

?>



just define $outfile and RenderFrame(), and that's it.

apparently GD does not support animated GIFs.



instead, we're stuck with the old fashioned way:

<?php

header('Content-Type: image/gif');

echo file_get_contents($destPathImage);

?>

Animated GIFs as well as transparent GIFs qualify as GIF89a's and you should use ImageColorTransparent().

If you open a truecolor image (with imageCreateFromPng for example), and you save it directly with imagegif, you can have a 500 internal server error. You must use imageTrueColorToPalette to reduce to 256 colors before saving the image in GIF format.

It should be noted that if you only want to "save" the file, and not display it to the browser, you should catch the imagegif into a variable.



Example:



<?php

//Only saves the file to a destination, no display



$image_value = imagegif($image, $save_file_to_path);



//Saves file and attempts to display it, but will throw an error message



imagegif($image, $save_file_to_path);

    

//Only displays, never saves as a file

imagegif($image);



//Note: In [my] third example, for displaying only, it is probably good to use the "header('Content-type: image/gif'); declaration, but it's not needed in the first example for saving as a .gif file.

Using <IMG SRC="image.php"> to dynamically generate images is a bit problematic regarding cache. Unless caching is activated, IE seems to get confused about the type of the image when attempting to save it. A .GIF created in the above way causes the browser to suggest saving the image with .BMP, not .GIF.

A solution is to activate cache with session_cache_limiter('public'); in "image.php", after which IE will correctly save as .GIF. If you do not want the cache to block any changes in the dynamic image, make sure that the SRC keeps changing with every reload. Something like "image.php/" . mt_rand(1,100000) . ".gif" seems to work well.

Might be trivial to some, but I spent a couple of hours figuring out why IE always wants to save my dynamic .GIF's as .BMP's.

Simple animated-gif hack (requires ImageMagick):

<html><body>
<?php
        $icount=0;
        for($count=0;$count<40;$count++) {
                $im=imagecreate(200,200);
                imagecolorallocate($im,0,0,255);
                $white=imagecolorallocate($im,255,255,255);
                imagerectangle($im,$count,$count,200-$count,200-$count,$white);
                $icount++;
                $tcount=sprintf("%04d",$icount);
                imagegif($im,"/tmp/test-$tcount.gif");
                imagedestroy($im);
        }
        exec("/usr/bin/convert -delay 2 -loop 10 /tmp/test*.gif /var/www/html/Tests/Test-Anim.gif");
?>
<img src="/Tests/Test-Anim.gif">
</body>
</html>

Note that you *can* save with a transparent color **and dither** using GD2.
For a useful example, see the png-to-gif function in my coment here:

This is how you load and display an image file:



<?php

Header("Content-Type: image/gif");

$fn=fopen("./imagefile.gif","r");

fpassthru($fn);

?>



Note that there are no new-lines in the content type header.
