PHP Manual: imagecopymerge

Description

function imagecopymerge(
    GdImage $dst_image,
    GdImage $src_image,
    int $dst_x,
    int $dst_y,
    int $src_x,
    int $src_y,
    int $src_width,
    int $src_height,
    int $pct
): true

Copy a part of src_image onto dst_image starting at the x,y coordinates src_x, src_y with a width of src_width and a height of src_height. The portion defined will be copied onto the x,y coordinates, dst_x and dst_y.

Parameters

dst_image: Destination image resource.
src_image: Source image resource.
dst_x: x-coordinate of destination point.
dst_y: y-coordinate of destination point.
src_x: x-coordinate of source point.
src_y: y-coordinate of source point.
src_width: Source width.
src_height: Source height.
pct: The two images will be merged according to pct which can range from 0 to 100. When pct = 0, no action is taken, when 100 this function behaves identically to imagecopy() for palette images, except for ignoring alpha components, while it implements alpha transparency for true colour images.

Return Values

Always returns true.

Changelog

Version	Description
8.0.0	`dst_image` and `src_image` expect GdImage instances now; previously, resources were expected.

Examples

Example #1 Merging two copies of the PHP.net logo with 75% transparency

<?php
// Create image instances
$dest = imagecreatefromgif('php.gif');
$src = imagecreatefromgif('php.gif');

// Copy and merge
imagecopymerge($dest, $src, 10, 10, 0, 0, 100, 47, 75);

// Output
header('Content-Type: image/gif');
imagegif($dest);
?>
