[PHP] PHP to create static images
I am doing some work with creating graphs using the GD library. Does anyone know how I can create the graphs statically so I can save the output as a GIF or PNG? I want to run a script that will take in say 10 datasets and then create 10 PNG images on the file server. Any ideas? thank you! Troy Campano
RE: [PHP] PHP to create static images
To save an image to disk with the imagepng/imagejpg/imagewbmp functions all you have to do is give the file name as the second parameter to the function; so if you wanted to call the first graph 'graph1.png', it would go something like ?php $graph = imagecreate(320,240); /* (Draw the graph here) */ imagepng($graph, 'graph1.png'); ? imagepng will attempt to save graph1.png in the same directory as the script. Where ever you tell it to save the image, make sure your web server (if Apache - I don't know about IIS) has permission to write files to that directory. -Andy -Original Message- From: Campano, Troy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 24, 2002 12:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] PHP to create static images I am doing some work with creating graphs using the GD library.

Re: [PHP] PHP to create static images
imagepng() should work. you can save the file on your server then call it up wherever you need it. The manual has more info on using image functions just type in image. hugh - Original Message - From: Campano, Troy [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 24, 2002 12:39 PM Subject: [PHP] PHP to create static images I am doing some work with creating graphs using the GD library.
