Create Favicon in PHP – Info PHP
Introduction
In this article I will explain Favicons in PHP. In this article I will use a small and powerful script for creating Dynamic Favicons and use the PHP GD library to manipulate the Favicon image and add text into it. Use the GD library to create the image. You can download GD library and include it in the WWW folder. After including the GD library you can run PHP info() to check that GD Support is enabled.
Example
This is the “icon.php” file for creating the image:
- $img = imagecreatefrompng(“icon.png”);
- if(isset($_GET[‘char’emptyempty($_GET[‘char’])) {
- $string = $_GET[‘char’];
- } else {
- $string = ‘V’;
- }
- $bg = imagecolorallocate($img, 255, 255, 255);
- $black = imagecolorallocate($img, 0, 0, 0);
- imagechar($img, 2, 5, 1, $string, $black);
- header(‘Content-type: image/png’);
- imagepng($img);
- ?>
This is a “favicon.php” file for creating a dynamic Favicon icon in the PHP website.
