<title>Creating and manipulating images</title>
<simpara>
PHP is not limited to creating just HTML output. It can also be
used to create and manipulate image files in a variety of different
image formats, including gif, png, jpg, wbmp, and xpm. Even more
convenient, PHP can output image streams directly to a browser. You
will need to compile PHP with the
<link linkend="ref.image">GD library of image functions</link> for
this to work. GD and PHP may also require other libraries, depending
on which image formats you want to work with. GD stopped supporting
Gif images in version 1.6.

<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
Header("Content-type: image/png");
$string=implode($argv," ");
$im = ImageCreateFromPng("images/button1.png");
$orange = ImageColorAllocate($im, 220, 210, 60);
$px = (imagesx($im)-7.5*strlen($string))/2;
ImageString($im,3,$px,9,$string,$orange);
ImagePng($im);
ImageDestroy($im);
?>

</programlisting>
</example>
This example would be called from a page with a tag like: &lt;img
src=&quot;button.php?text&quot;&gt;. The above button.php script
then takes this &quot;text&quot; string an overlays it on top of a
base image which in this case is &quot;images/button1.png&quot;
and outputs the resulting image. This is a very convenient way to
avoid having to draw new button images every time you want to
change the text of a button. With this method they are
dynamically generated.
