How to make circled thumbnails using GD - php

Question

I would like to make a circled thumbnails using GD library. Is there're any ready solutions for this? I've seen libraries only for rounded corners yet.

Answer 1

Here is the script i use. It just overlays my thumbnail with a half-transparent pattern, which makes the thumbnail with some shape effect.
ini_set("memory_limit","64M");
ini_set("gd.jpeg_ignore_warning", 1);
$img_name=$_GET[f];
$type=$_GET[type];
if (isset($img_name)) {
$img_name = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/catalog/".$img_name;
$info = #getimagesize($img_name);
$ext = #$info[2];
$header = #$info['mime'];
$board = ImageCreateFrompng("images/item".$type.".png");
$im = ImageCreateTrueColor(170,140);
$bg = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
imagefill($im,0,0,$bg);
header("Content-type: $header");
switch($ext) {
case 1: { // GIF
$img = #imagecreatefromgif($img_name);
if ($img) {
imagecopyresized($im, $img, (170-$info[0]), 0, 0, 0, #$info[0], #$info[1], #$info[0], #$info[1]);
imagecopy($im, $board, 0, 0, 0, 0, 170, 140);
imagegif($im, '', 100);
return $chache_fn;
} break;
}
case 2: { // JPG
$img = #imagecreatefromjpeg($img_name);
if ($img) {
imagecopyresized($im, $img, (170-$info[0]), 0, 0, 0, #$info[0], #$info[1], #$info[0], #$info[1]);
imagecopy($im, $board, 0, 0, 0, 0, 170, 140);
imagejpeg($im, '', 100);
} break;
}
case 3: { // PNG
$img = #imagecreatefrompng($img_name);
if ($img) {
imagecopyresized($im, $img, (170-$info[0]), 0, 0, 0, #$info[0], #$info[1], #$info[0], #$info[1]);
imagecopy($im, $board, 0, 0, 0, 0, 170, 140);
imagepng($im, '', 9);
} break;
}
case 6: { // BMP
$img = #imagecreatefromwbmp($img_name);
if ($img) {
imagecopyresized($im, $img, (170-$info[0]), 0, 0, 0, #$info[0], #$info[1], #$info[0], #$info[1]);
imagecopy($im, $board, 0, 0, 0, 0, 170, 140);
imagewbmp($im, '', 100);
} break;
}
}
