copy($url, $dest_path);
The GD functions can accept a URL in place of a filepath as well. To open an
image locating on a remote server you would do
imagecreatefrom jpeg("http://www.cnn.com/harry_swastika. jpg");
- using PHP code I want to edit the image by superimposing a smaller image on the lower right hand corner
See http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php. The functions to note are
imagecopy() and imagecopymerge( ).
- then display the image to the user
imagejpeg($img) , imagegif($img), etc. Makes more sense to save to disk
first, however.
- if possible, store the image to a database (MySQL/ MSSQL) server
With MySQL I think you can just dump the binary data into an INSERT
statement. With MSSQL, you need to convert the data to hex decimal first.
Shouldn't there be a free sample project on this already. I mean what I am
asking is pretty simple and probably used very often.....
thanks

No, it isn't. Chung Leong posted all the important functions you need.
I wouldn't store the data in a MySQL/MSSQL database. There is a database
designed for files like this. It is ... the filesystem! Use the database
and store a reference to the file.

Matthias

Let me get this straight, you want help on
a) taking an image from another site
b) putting your own logo onto the image, to imply that the copyright is in
fact held by yourself
c) saving and storing that stolen file as your own property
Do I have all the steps correct?

You skipped one. "news" also wants to repurpose data from other websites as
shown in his/her/its thread titled "PHP ques: Webpage retrieval and
parsing" posted the same day. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Does cookieless session state (with the sessionid embedded into the url)
interfere with the browser's retrieval of cached images from one session to

client-side image caching to the lifetime of the session?

I'm not sure if this is the right group to ask. I am developing a
