How can I embed a dynamic image created with GD inside another dynamic image generated with GD? Both files work fine if they are separated, but when I try to use one inside the another it doesn't work.
Image 1:
<?php
header('Content-type: image/png');
$image1 = imagecreatefrompng('images/image1.png');
//add some texts to image 1
imagepng($image1);
imagedestroy($image1);
?>
Image 2:
<?php
header('Content-type: image/png');
$image2 = imagecreatefrompng('images/image2.png');
//add some texts to image 2
imagepng($image2);
imagedestroy($image2);
?>
Now, if I try to use image generated in image2.php inside image1.php:
<?php
header('Content-type: image/png');
$image1 = imagecreatefrompng('images/image1.png');
$image2 = imagecreatefromgd('image2.php');
//add some texts to image1
imagecopy($image1, $image2, $x, $y, $src_x, $src_y, $src_w, $src_h);
imagepng($image1);
imagedestroy($image1);
imagedestroy($image2);
?>
Any ideas? Thanks!
Great!! After testing different solutions, here's the way it worked. Basically, all images generated with GD must be created in the same file to send one only image to the browser:
<?php
header('Content-type: image/png');
$image1 = imagecreatefrompng('images/image1.png');
$image2 = createImage2();
//add some texts to image1
imagecopy($image1, $image2, $x, $y, $src_x, $src_y, $src_w, $src_h);
imagepng($image1);
imagedestroy($image1);
imagedestroy($image2);
function createimage2() {
$image2 = imagecreatefrompng('images/image2.png');
//add some texts to image 2
return $image2
?>
