Convert an Image

You can simply convert an image to another format by calling the convert() method:

NOTE: the GD adapter is limited to JPG, PNG and GIF formats. The Imagick adapter can work with a large number of formats, depending on your environment. The Imagick section in the phpinfo() result screen will display the list of formats available for Imagick in your environment.

Output an Image

Once you have an image adapter and have finished editing the image, you have two options to output the image.

Save to disk

Use the writeToFile() method and pass it a filename and an optional image quality parameter:

Output to HTTP

Use the outputToHttp() method to send the image content directly an HTTP client like a browser:

This method has several optional parameters to assist with the delivery over HTTP:

• $quality - set the quality of the image output
• $to - give it a filename for a potential download
• $download - boolean to set the Content-Disposition to inline (false) or attachment (true)
• $sendHeaders - boolean to send the headers or just the raw payload
• $headers - array of additional headers to send

Destroy an Image

Destroying an image will clear the image contents from memory to assist with memory management and prevent possibly exceeding any memory limits when working with a large number of files.

If you wish to clear the current image file from disk, you can pass a true boolean to the method:

Image Adapters

The two image adapters available are GD and Imagick and they share a basic core API:

• load(?string $name = null)
• loadFromString(string $data, ?string $name = null)
• create(?int $width = null, ?int $height = null, ?string $name = null)
• createIndex(?int $width = null, ?int $height = null, ?string $name = null)
• resizeToWidth(int $w)
• resizeToHeight(int $h)
• resize(int $px)
• scale(float $scale)
• crop(int $w, int $h, int $x = 0, int $y = 0)
• cropThumb(int $px, ?int $offset = null)
• rotate(int $degrees, ?Color\ColorInterface $bgColor = null, int $alpha = null)
• flip()
• flop()

GD

To work with the GD adapter, you can load it from the main image class in a few different ways:

Imagick

To work with the Imagick adapter, you can load it from the main image class in a few different ways:

The Imagick adapter API extends the functionality with additional Imagick-specific methods:

• addImage(mixed $image, ?int $delay = null)
• hasImages()
• getImages()
• rebuildImages(\Imagick $images)
• setResolution(int $x, ?int $y = null)
• setImageColorspace(int $colorspace)
• setCompression(int $compression)
• setImageFilter(int $filter)
• setImageBlur(float $blur)
• getNumberOfImages()
• getCompression()
• getImageFilter()
• getImageBlur()

Advanced Editing

Using the editing objects

There are 6 available editing objects for advanced editing and adjusting of images:

• Adjust - Make image adjustments like brightness, contrast and desaturate.
• Draw - Draw basic shapes on the image and apply strokes and fills.
• Effect - Apply effects to the image, such as gradients.
• Filter - Apply filters to the image, such as blur, sharpen and negate.
• Layer - Create overlays and new layers over the image.
• Type - Add text over the image.

Examples

Here are some example use cases:

CAPTCHA

The pop-image component comes with a CAPTCHA tool to create a CAPTCHA image and store the token value in session to validate the user's CAPTCHA input.

The script above will generate the following image:

And with it, the $_SESSION variable will store a pop_captcha key with a serialized value in it. When you unserialized the $_SESSION['pop_captcha'] value, it will give you this array:

You can use the captcha value to display the image in an HTML page and the answer value to validate the user's CAPTCHA input.
