PHP - Place an image over another image

Question

I want to place an image over another image using php. I have two images. One is a photo. And other one is a image, of fixed size, full white. We can call this as frame. So what i need is place the photo in the middle of the frame (white image) and then save it. Can anyone pls help me?

Solution

to do this kind of work, you need to use GD library or ImageMagic

this code work with GD library

       $photo_to_paste="image_to_paste.jpg";  //image 321 x 400
       $white_image="white_image.jpg"; //873 x 622 

        $im = imagecreatefromjpeg($white_image);
        $condicion = GetImageSize($photo_to_paste); // image format?

        if($condicion[2] == 1) //gif
        $im2 = imagecreatefromgif("$photo_to_paste");
        if($condicion[2] == 2) //jpg
        $im2 = imagecreatefromjpeg("$photo_to_paste");
        if($condicion[2] == 3) //png
        $im2 = imagecreatefrompng("$photo_to_paste");

        imagecopy($im, $im2, (imagesx($im)/2)-(imagesx($im2)/2), (imagesy($im)/2)-(imagesy($im2)/2), 0, 0, imagesx($im2), imagesy($im2));

        imagejpeg($im,"test4.jpg",90);
        imagedestroy($im);
        imagedestroy($im2);

that code will output:
