imagecreate
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
imagecreate — Create a new palette based image
Description
$width
, int $height
)imagecreate() returns an image identifier representing a blank image of specified size.
In general, we recommend the use of imagecreatetruecolor() instead of imagecreate() so that image processing occurs on the highest quality image possible. If you want to output a palette image, then imagetruecolortopalette() should be called immediately before saving the image with imagepng() or imagegif().
Parameters
-
width -
The image width.
-
height -
The image height.
Return Values
Returns an image resource identifier on success, FALSE on errors.
Examples
Example #1 Creating a new GD image stream and outputting an image.
<?php
header("Content-Type: image/png");
$im = @imagecreate(110, 20)
or die("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream");
$background_color = imagecolorallocate($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);
?>
