imagecreate

Description

imagecreate() returns an image identifier representing a blank image of size x_size by y_size.

We recommend the use of imagecreatetruecolor().

Example 1. Creating a new GD image stream and outputting an image. <?php header("Content-type: image/png"); $im = @imagecreate(100, 50)     or die("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream"); $background_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255); $text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91); imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5,  "A Simple Text String", $text_color); imagepng($im); imagedestroy($im); ?>
