To draw images using PHP using the GD (Graphics Draw) Library . The GD Library is a set of functions that allows you to create and manipulate images dynamically using PHP .

Here are the steps to draw an image using PHP:

Create a new image using the imagecreatetruecolor() function. This function creates a new true color image with the specified width and height.


$image = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);

Define the colors you want to use in the image using the imagecolorallocate() function. This function allocates a color for the image using the RGB color values.


$color = imagecolorallocate($image, $red, $green, $blue);

Use the various drawing functions provided by the GD Library to draw shapes, lines, text, and other graphics on the image.


// Draw a rectangle
imagefilledrectangle($image, $x1, $y1, $x2, $y2, $color);

// Draw a line
imageline($image, $x1, $y1, $x2, $y2, $color);

// Draw text
imagettftext($image, $size, $angle, $x, $y, $color, $font, $text);

Save the image to a file using the imagepng() , imagejpeg() , or imagegif() function.


imagepng($image, $filename);

This will save the image as a PNG file with the specified filename.

Finally, free up the memory used by the image using the imagedestroy() function.


imagedestroy($image);
