PHP Image Combiner

This PHP script processes images in a specified directory, duplicating each image vertically and adding custom text to the center(Optional). It's designed to run in a local environment with XAMPP or similar server setups that support PHP and the GD library.

Features

• Image Duplication: Combines two copies of the same image, one on top of the other, in a single image file.
• Text Overlay: Adds the text to the center of the combined image.
• Dynamic Text Sizing: Adjusts the font size of the text overlay based on the resolution of the images.

Prerequisites

• PHP 7.0 or higher with GD library enabled.
• XAMPP (or similar) local server environment.
• TrueType font file (e.g., Arial.ttf) for text overlay.

Installation

1. Set Up XAMPP: Ensure XAMPP is installed and running on your machine. The Apache server needs to be active.

2. Enable the GD library in XAMPP:

   • Locate php.ini: Find the php.ini file in your XAMPP installation. It's usually located in the php directory within your XAMPP installation folder.

   • Enable GD extension: Open php.ini in a text editor and search for the following line:

• ;extension=gd

• Remove the semicolon (;) at the beginning of the line to uncomment it:

• extension=gd

• Restart Apache: After making this change, you need to restart the Apache server through the XAMPP control panel for the changes to take effect.

  • Open XAMPP Control Panel.
  • Stop Apache.
  • Start Apache again.

3. Clone Repository: Clone this repository into your htdocs directory of XAMPP or the respective directory of your server setup. git clone https://github.com/Kisheo/PHP-Image-Combiner.git
4. Configure Script: Place your TrueType font file in the same directory as the script and update the $font variable in imageprocessor.php to match the name of your font file.

Usage

1. Prepare Images: Copy the images you want to process into the images directory located in the same directory as imageprocessor.php.
2. If images folder does not exist, create it manually.
3. Run Script: Navigate to http://localhost/your-repo-name/imageprocessor.php in your web browser. Replace your-repo-name with the actual name of your repository.
4. View Results: Processed images will be saved in the processed_img directory. You can view or download them from there.
5. The script works with png and jpg files only.

Customization

To change the text overlay, edit the $text variable in the script. To adjust the base font size for different image resolutions, modify the $baseFontSize and the calculation for $fontSize.
