Sig Comp Step-by-Step



Step One
Every script starts with a header..this tells the server what type of image we are making. My image for this lesson is a gif so the header and the output will be gif.

<?php
//DEFINE CONTENT TYPE Header("Content-type: image/gif");


The first thing we need to do is to "Import" an image into the script.
//IMPORT CANVAS
$im= imagecreatefromGif('http://www.wormworks.org/king/deco/chairs/chair-purp.gif');


This is how we output the image.
//SHOW IMAGE OUTPUT AS GIF
Imagegif($im);


This will output the image into your FileManager. Remove the double slash to do this. And then change the output image name or number to prevent override.
//Imagegif($im, ('LoungeLiz-1.gif'));

This tells the server that we're finished with the image for now.
imagedestroy($im);

?>


Here is the code. Transload/upload the page to your server, copy and change txt to php. View it. You'll see my chosen gif. Now go get your gif or jpg or picture; go into edit and put its URL where mine is. Be careful of punctuation, and just before the URL you'll see ImagecreatefromGif; if yours is a jpg; change it to imagecreatefromJpeg; with the "e". The header and output should also be changed to jpeg where it says gif.
