Creating graph/image in php 3.0.5 /3.07

[Anon]

i been working for sometime now on php, and have been creating images/graph using the GD library in php Ver 4.0.2, but now i have to do it in a previous version 3.05 where we don't have these library.
im blocked , and don't know how to proceed.

so can you suggest me a way of creating images or graph , without using the GD library.
Thank you!!

The GD library is a C extension to the PHP language which is necessary for manipulating and creating images. Without the GD library (or some other library with binary extensions / functions) there is no way to easily manipulate or create images natively in PHP.

hi,

firstly to be able to creating or manipulating images in gif, png or jpeg , you must have the GD library which will enable you to generate all theseit is either (php_gd.dll or php3_gd.dll) you must ensure the presence of these file in your php configuration

then you can proceed normally with your programing using thses function proper to image creation.
i'll give you a simple example:

<?
$width=410;
$height=410;

Header("Content-type: image/gif");
$im = imagecreate($width,$height);
$gray=ImageColorAllocate($im,225,225,225);

$Red=ImageColorAllocate($im,255,0,0);
$black=ImageColorAllocate($im,0,0,0);

$col=ImageColorAllocate($im,0,0,0);
for ($i=0;$i<=200;$i+=10)
{
imageline($im,210-$i,200,210,$i,$black);
imageline($im,210+$i,200,210,$i,$black);
imageline($im,210,210+$i,$i,200,$black);
imageline($im,210,410-$i,210+$i,200,$black);
}
imagePng($im);
ImageDestroy($im);
?>

advice :
play with the values in there , you will understand better how it works

i hope this will help you
