Hiya

how would i mae 1 image go over the top of another in php.. i need a little affect where 1 is 1/2 way over another.
I know you can do it with css but i have never touched that before and only need this in 1 place ... so is there a simple solution?

thanks

You may overlay two images physically with some image editor, if I understand you right.

Yeah i know i could do it that way but this wont be fixed

can you give an example of what you mean?

You'd have to do it using CSS, can't be done using PHP. PHP can't affect the layout of elements on a webpage directly, you'd have to use XHTML and CSS.

You can always modify this watermark code:

<?php
function imagelogo (&$dst_image, $src_image, $dst_w, $dst_h, $src_w, $src_h, $position='bottom-left') {
    imagealphablending($dst_image,true);
    imagealphablending($src_image,true);
    if ($position == 'random') {
        $position = rand(1,8);
    }
    switch ($position) {
        case 'top-right':
        case 'right-top':
        case 1:
            imagecopy($dst_image, $src_image, ($dst_w-$src_w), 0, 0, 0, $src_w, $src_h);
        break;
        case 'top-left':
        case 'left-top':
        case 2:
            imagecopy($dst_image, $src_image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $src_w, $src_h);
        break;
        case 'bottom-right':
        case 'right-bottom':
        case 3:
            imagecopy($dst_image, $src_image, ($dst_w-$src_w), ($dst_h-$src_h), 0, 0, $src_w, $src_h);
        break;
        case 'bottom-left':
        case 'left-bottom':
        case 4:
            imagecopy($dst_image, $src_image, 0 , ($dst_h-$src_h), 0, 0, $src_w, $src_h);
        break;
        case 'center':
        case 5:
            imagecopy($dst_image, $src_image, (($dst_w/2)-($src_w/2)), (($dst_h/2)-($src_h/2)), 0, 0, $src_w, $src_h);
        break;
        case 'top':
        case 5:
            imagecopy($dst_image, $src_image, (($dst_w/2)-($src_w/2)), 0, 0, 0, $src_w, $src_h);
        break;
        case 'bottom':
        case 6:
            imagecopy($dst_image, $src_image, (($dst_w/2)-($src_w/2)), ($dst_h-$src_h), 0, 0, $src_w, $src_h);
        break;
        case 'left':
        case 7:
            imagecopy($dst_image, $src_image, 0, (($dst_h/2)-($src_h/2)), 0, 0, $src_w, $src_h);
        break;
        case 'right':
        case 8:
            imagecopy($dst_image, $src_image, ($dst_w-$src_w), (($dst_h/2)-($src_h/2)), 0, 0, $src_w, $src_h);
        break;
    }
}

// example:

imagelogo($image, $watermark, imagesx($image), imagesy($image), imagesx($watermark), imagesy($watermark), 'random');
?>

I got it now thanks, i just did what mtishetsky suggested then when i wanted the normal image again i used a bit of javascript to change it

thanks

It is not recommended to resize images with php. Some specially educated guys wrote and continue supporting a wondeful thing called ImageMagick.
