I was looking through posts about modifying/packaging images in PHP and can't seem to find anything. What I'm trying to do is have an image template that I can modify by $_GETting a variable.
For instance: http://foo.bar/image.php?content=Monday
If we were then to wrap the above in an tag, it would show as "You have been invited to a party on Monday!" (Something to that effect)
Basically:
Set template
One or two words changed on said template
Auto-resize to fit a page
If anyone could provide a link to a library that does this, or provide a code example, that would be great.
Might want to take at this page from PHP.net -> http://us3.php.net/manual/en/image.examples-png.php
You can generate images in PHP using Cairo, ImageMagick or GD. There's a wealth of documentation on PHP's site: http://www.php.net/manual/en/refs.utilspec.image.php
Note that not every API/function library is available on every system. I remember even a few years ago that ImageMagick and GD were hard to get working on non-Linux systems. I don't know how it is today though.

I hope you are doing well.
I need to know about a PHP library that converts a PDF file having images as well to be converted in a HTML file with the following features that the library can do.
HTML file needs to be of version 3.2 compatible
Save the images in PDF file having .jpg extension
Correct font from PDF needs to be used in the HTML file.
A result folder that contains the images and html file in one folder
I have tried most of the PHP libraries but most of the PHP libraries are NOT doing my needed tasks.
Please, help let me know about a library that do all the above 4 requirements (image attached for reference)
Waiting for your kind responses.
Thanks
I am not very sure, But here is a library in PHP I found.
Here
Try this:
http://www.pdfaid.com/pdf-to-html.aspx
Or this:
http://webdesign.about.com/od/pdf/tp/tools-for-converting-pdf-to-html.htm
Or this...
http://www.pdfconvertonline.com/pdf-to-html-online.html
There are plenty of options available to you, the secret is to use a new fangled thing called a Search Engine, such as a Bing or a Google.
you will also do well to research on Stack Overflow before asking your question:
1) HTML 3.2 wes superceeded in 1997, this is very nearly twenty years ago, why on eart are you still needing a comparatively ancient technology when there are far better improvements available such as XML HTML, HTML 4.01 and HTML5.
2) Please read How can I extract embedded fonts from a PDF as valid font files?
3) Also to extract images you can use:
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/extract-images-pdf-files-save-windows/
but again, there are several options available to you if you care to look for them.
You seem to imply a fundamental misunderstanding about HTML; there are several different ways of getting any desired result with HTML. You have a PDF file and you want it to look a certain way, this look depends on the browser you are looking at it on. For example if you use a PDF to HTML converter as linked above you will very probably find that the output will look different on Internet Explorer 7 versus on Firefox versus Internet Explorer 10. There is no one way of writing output on HTML or with CSS.
If you want a custom built library to do your specific task then you will need to employ a professional to do it, or you will need to code it yourself. This obviously should be charged to the client for requiring a technology that is extremely outdated. You can probably search github for a similar library (the one linked by CK Khan looks like what you're after) and then fork it and make your own variation for your needs. I very much doubt anyone is going to put time into developing a system to output HTML 3.2 from a PDF, and even less likely to develop this system for free and to your exact specifications.
It also appears that you can not directly incorporate font families into the <font> tag in HTML 3.2, only being able to edit size and colour of fonts. You can use CSS1 font-family to show font families. See here.
I have been scouting the web for a pdf editing tool for quite some time now. And it would therefore be nice with some suggestions/recommendations to the problem.
I have read a bunch of other topics around StackOverflow, but havent quite been able to find a full solution yet.
The case: I have an application written in php/javascript on a linux server and recently it has become a requirement for my customers that they are able to edit Pdf documents direct in the browser. The functions i need are primarily the ability to make annotations and to draw on the PDF. That means. They load an already uploaded PDF-document and edits it and then saves it in PDF-format again. All done within the browser.
The second requirement is that the program must save pdf document in PDF-format again, since i have an Ipad app with all of this functionality, and i need them to play nicely together. It is therefore not an option to save an image of html of something like that.
I read a comment suggesting the Zend framework, and it did sound quite useful. However i have developed my own platform from the ground, and therefore my second question is, if it is possible to embed only the PDF-tool from Zend or something?
Thank you in advance.
ps. If i missed a simular subject that answers exactly this, please let me know and i'll delete again.
There are several libraries that can be used to edit PDF-files. To name a few: Tcpdf, fpdf and Zend_Pdf.
The later can be used even without the complete ZendFramework. But be cautious: Currently it only allows editing of PDF-Files up to version 1.4.
If you need speed you should also have a look at the PDFlib which could be tweaked to support your usecase
I'm using a script that I downloaded from google code to dynamically generate mosaic images with the GD library. The script seems a bit convoluted. I've messed around with it quite a bit, but I'm sort of confused since it's written in German and I don't speak deutsch. I know that in order for it to work, I need to have 121 different images. But, I'm not sure if they needs to be in the directory or in mysql. Does anyone have a clue as to how to use this? Or does anyone have some suggestions for a better script for generating mosaic images with the php GD library?
The script can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/phpmosaic/
Thanks,
Lance
The images you like to use as thumbnails have to be inside a directory. You must add them to the db using the methods
phpMosaicImageParser::parseImageFolder() or
phpMosaicImageParser::parseImage()
However: there is no fix number of required thumbnails, it will depend on the SourceImage and the used options how much thumbnails you'll need at least.
I am grabbing links to images and need to convert them on the fly to 72x108 to display on a website. The source images come from various resolutions, so cropping is required.
I know a moderate level of PHP so I can probably make something work for my needs, but was hoping for something that could be called by a url request. EG: mysite.com/thumbnail.php?src=http://anothersite.com/image.jpg&w=72&h=108
That would be ideal, it needs to support jpg/png.
Thanks in advance!
Here is a really handy script for processing and uploading images that's been a top google result for forever. I used it years ago and it was really easy to implement. Looks like it was just updated a couple weeks ago too :)
http://www.verot.net/php_class_upload.htm
This may be overkill, but if you check out the examples you can see there's a lot you can do with it. If you don't use it for this project, it might be worthwhile to try out for the next one.
just read the image from the url with file_get_contents or using curl and use the php gd library to resize and crop the image as per your needs.
Go through the following links for more info:

I want to overlap pictures, but it is not working and I need some help.
Here's the link to the page I'd like to convert:
http://9m9.com/innovative/sample/two.html
I want to convert this page to a PDF. You can see the small image overlapping the bigger one.
This is the page where you can click on a link that will convert the page to PDF.
http://citysoftsolutions.com/eclients/virtualtour/view_property_images.php?pid=9&uid=67
As you can see the image is placed behind the big image.
I'm using this converter script: http://mpdf.bpm1.com/
When I printed it using PrimoPDF driver it came out just fine. Last image was easily laid over. So there must be a bug with the script you're using.
What do I suggest?
If you'd like to convert your pages to PDFs "on the fly" I suggest you either
contact script creator and inform them of a bug in the script
use a different script (I'd check out this question that can help you)
If you'd like to just provide PDFs of your page I suggest you install a PDF printer driver (like PrimoPDF that I'm using) and print those pages yourself and use those.
I'm not working for Nitro PDF Software company nor am I related to them in any way. So this is not me advertising their products/services.
On a sidenote
Something's telling me that what you'd actually like to do is to create a PDF flyer/promo material or something. If that's actually what you're after I suggest you do that using some software that's meant for such a job. Microsoft Office Word will do, but you'll better off using some other. If it's a one page leaflet you could use Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw. But if it's going to be an actual multipage document use something like Word or Adobe InDesign.
Word is probably something you can easily master. So go with that one.
