GD_WRITE

NAME

gd_write - Writes a GD image to a file or sends it to the client.

SYNOPSIS

gd_write (gd:variable, filename:"string", format:"string", base64: boolean, bgcolor:"string",quality:integer);

DESCRIPTION

This function is used to write a GD image to a file or send it to the client.

If no filename is specified, output goes to the client or stdout if not with apache.

PARAMETERS

filename
Specifyies the initial filename to write.
base64
If base64 is true and filename is specified, gd_write will return an image as a base64 encoding
bgcolor
Specifies background color. A color is specified as "#XXXXX" or as "255,255,255".
format
Format of the file. This can be gif, jpg, png, gd, gd2, wbmp, xbm, xpm.
gd
Variable must hold a returned value from gd_new.
quality
Quality of image. If quality is negative, the default quality value (which should yield a good general quality / size tradeoff for most situations) is used. Otherwise, for practical purposes, quality should be a value in the range 0-95, higher quality values usually implying both higher quality and larger image sizes.

RETURN

Nothing. Null.
