PHP 8.4.0 RC4 available for testing

imagecreate

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

imagecreateCrie uma nova imagem baseada em paleta

Descrição

imagecreate(int $width, int $height): GdImage|false

imagecreate() retorna um identificador de imagem que representa uma imagem em branco do tamanho especificado.

Em geral, recomendamos o uso de imagecreatetruecolor() em vez de imagecreate() para que o processamento da imagem ocorra na mais alta qualidade possível. Se você deseja gerar uma imagem paletizada, então imagetruecolortopalette() deve ser chamada imediatamente antes de salvar a imagem com imagepng() ou imagegif().

Parâmetros

width

A largura da imagem.

height

A altura da imagem.

Valor Retornado

Retorna um objeto de imagem em caso de sucesso, false em caso de erros.

Registro de Alterações

Versão Descrição
8.0.0 Em caso de sucesso, esta função agora retorna uma instância de GDImage; anteriormente, era retornado um resource.

Exemplos

Exemplo #1 Criando um novo stream de imagem GD e exibindo uma imagem.

<?php
header
("Content-Type: image/png");
$im = @imagecreate(110, 20)
or die(
"Não é possível inicializar um novo stream de imagem GD.");
$background_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91);
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, "A Simple Text String", $text_color);
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

O exemplo acima produzirá algo semelhante a:

Saída do exemplo: criando um novo stream de imagem GD e exibindo uma imagem.

to compile GD support on some linux distributions you have to include these with the ./configure command :
--with=gd=/usr --with-jpeg=/usr --with-png=/usr --with-zlib=/usr

(i had to include this on Redhat 6.1)
this becase the libraries are in /usr/lib instead of /lib

It is easy and simple example to convert Text to Image with selected font.
It helps me to display Bangla text as image when users have no installed bangla font.

I hope it can help you too!

<?php
//Kip the font file together or write proper location.
makeImageF("Life in PHP.","CENTURY.TTF");

function
makeImageF($text, $font="CENTURY.TTF", $W=200, $H=20, $X=0, $Y=0, $fsize=18, $color=array(0x0,0x0,0x0), $bgcolor=array(0xFF,0xFF,0xFF)){

$im = @imagecreate($W, $H)
or die(
"Cannot Initialize new GD image stream");

$background_color = imagecolorallocate($im, $bgcolor[0], $bgcolor[1], $bgcolor[2]); //RGB color background.
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, $color[0], $color[1], $color[2]); //RGB color text.

imagettftext($im, $fsize, $X, $Y, $fsize, $text_color, $font, $text);

header("Content-type: image/gif");
return
imagegif($im);
}

?>

The function ImageCreate() creates a PALETTE image.
The function ImageCreateFromJPEG() creates a TRUE COLOR image.

When you use GD 2.0 you will get an error when you try to use ImageCopy()
with one True color image and one Palette image.

Be sure to convert one of the images before using ImageCopy() or use ImageCreateTrueColor() instead of ImageCreate().

ImagePNG($pic,"./dir/pic.png");

To save image as a file, I had to create a directory "dir" and CHMOD 777 to give read, write, and execute permission for everyone - or it wouldn't save it...

doesnt ruin the image but adds display to the output.
this will generate an image with a random color. if you like it you can use it because you have the RBG result too.
<?php
header
("content-type:image/png");
$im = imagecreate(100, 100);
$a = sprintf('%04x',mt_rand(0, 65535));
$b = sprintf('%04x',mt_rand(0, 65535));
$c = sprintf('%04x',mt_rand(0, 65535));
$white = imagecolorallocate($im,$a,$b,$c);
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
echo
"\n\n\n$a-$b-$c";
?>

Don't try and create an image with a really large width and/or height. First, $width x $height is (at least) the bytes of memory that need to be allocated. Secondly, if you exceed the range of int for either parameter, Apache crashes (before allocating any memory).
Don't ask how I figured this out ;)

GD UPGRADE PROBLEM:
I used imagecreate with gd 1.6 to make resized images of big photos. Then, when using the same script on gd 2.0, the colors got all wrong.
Using imagecreatetruecolor() fixed the problem!

How I fixed my "undefined function imagecreate()" problem:
I was having the same problem many have reported where most of PHP worked but the gd functions didn't. I'd installed the RedHat rpm php-4.0.1pl2. It said (phpinfo.php) that it had been configured with the '--with-gd=shared' option. In my /usr/lib directory, I had both libgd.so.1.8.3 and libgd.a. I decided to compile with the static library instead, so I downloaded the sources and built with all the same configuration flags except that I used --with-gd=/usr. Now my gd library works!!!

Here's how I resolved the "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreate()" error using Gentoo:

1) add a USE flag for gdb in /etc/make.conf

USE="3dnow avi [whatever else you have] gdb"

Note: here's a list of all of the USE flags:
http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/use-index.xml

2) unmerged mod_php

*Note* It could take awhile to "remerge" as it may need to compile several dependancies...do this during not production hours and have a backup if you absolutely cannot have downtime

emerge -C mod_php

3) emerged mod_php

emerge -p mod_php
# find out if it's going to take awhile

4) edit /etc/php/apach2-php4/php.ini
uncomment the "extension=php_gd2.dll" line

5) Restart apache2

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Hope this helps!

Based on DHKold's contribution I realized imagecreatefrombmp() to support all 1-, 4-, 8-, 16-, 24- und 32-Bit Bitmaps. Finally Fabien Ménager brought it to perfection for the project DOMPDF. Feel free to use it:

You can set it up so you can write a text which is controled from the URL.

Like this...

<?php
header
("Content-type: image/png");
$im = @imagecreate(128, 16) or die("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream");
$bc = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 255, 255);
$tc = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
imagestring($im, 1, 4, 4, $t, $tc);
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

Then when you use the image, use this...

<img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/stuff/cool_image.php?t=Text">

This will create an image with a cyan background, and in black text it will say "Text"

Pay attention to a problem I encountered.
Png images created with the PHP function seems to be very badly recognised by old browsers, especially -well, mainly - by IE 4.0 (crash of the browser).
I think this is probably due to the fact that, when IE 4.0 was released, the png format was either very recent, either not very used, because of the widespread jpeg and gif formats...
So, if you plan to dynamically create images for a web site to be seen by IE 4.0 users, think of it...
May'be the jpeg format will do the job better.

On windows.

When you get undefined function image* it means the gd library isnt being used. Check the php.ini file. Make sure the php_gd.dll isnt commented out. Restarting apache should result in the image functions working.
