Changing color in GD via variable?

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hey guys, I'm new here. x)

I'm very much a noob when it comes to PHP, but I'm trying to learn as much as I can. I've been writing a script which will generate a new image after submitting some hex codes, using these hex codes to generate certain colored parts of the image. Everything works just dandy - when you first visit the page, the values in the boxes specify the original hex codes that identify the color that is being changed. So, when you put in a new value and submit it, the page refreshes and displays those new values. I store these values in variables, and so in the script that generates the image, call the hex codes that a) need to be changed and b) replace the old hex codes. Unfortunately, the only problem is that it isn't actually changing the colors.

So I'm not really sure how to use variables to obtain these old and new hex codes.

demo.php (this is the image generating script)
Code: [Select]<?

$line = imagecreatefrompng('/images/character/etw/etwmaleline.png');
$base = imagecreatefrompng('/images/character/etw/etwmalebase.png');
$base2 = imagecreatefrompng('/images/character/etw/etwmale2base.png');
$eyes = imagecreatefrompng('/images/character/etw/etwmaleeyes.png');
$statc = imagecreatefrompng('/images/character/etw/etwmalestatc.png');

//BASE hex

$width = imagesx($base);
$height = imagesy($base);

$colorToChange = $pbase;
$newbaseColor = $_GET['base'];

$c1 = sscanf($colorToChange,"%2x%2x%2x");
$c2 = sscanf($newbaseColor,"%2x%2x%2x");

$cnew = imagecolorallocate($base,$c2[0],$c2[1],$c2[2]);

for ($y=0;$y<$height;$y++) {
for ($x=0;$x<$width;$x++) {
$rgb = imagecolorat($base,$x,$y);
$r = ($rgb >> 16) & 0xFF;
$g = ($rgb >> 8) & 0xFF;
$b = $rgb & 0xFF;
if (($r==$c1[0]) && ($g==$c1[1]) && ($b==$c1[2])) {
imagesetpixel($base,$x,$y,$cnew);
}
}
}

//BASE2 hex

$width = imagesx($base2);
$height = imagesy($base2);

$colorToChange = $pbase2;
$newbase2Color = $_GET['base2'];

$c1 = sscanf($colorToChange,"%2x%2x%2x");
$c2 = sscanf($newbase2Color,"%2x%2x%2x");

$cnew = imagecolorallocate($base2,$c2[0],$c2[1],$c2[2]);

for ($y=0;$y<$height;$y++) {
for ($x=0;$x<$width;$x++) {
$rgb = imagecolorat($base2,$x,$y);
$r = ($rgb >> 16) & 0xFF;
$g = ($rgb >> 8) & 0xFF;
$b = $rgb & 0xFF;
if (($r==$c1[0]) && ($g==$c1[1]) && ($b==$c1[2])) {
imagesetpixel($base2,$x,$y,$cnew);
}
}
}

//EYES hex

$width = imagesx($eyes);
$height = imagesy($eyes);

$colorToChange = $peyes;
$neweyesColor = $_GET['eyes'];

$c1 = sscanf($colorToChange,"%2x%2x%2x");
$c2 = sscanf($neweyesColor,"%2x%2x%2x");

$cnew = imagecolorallocate($eyes,$c2[0],$c2[1],$c2[2]);

for ($y=0;$y<$height;$y++) {
for ($x=0;$x<$width;$x++) {
$rgb = imagecolorat($eyes,$x,$y);
$r = ($rgb >> 16) & 0xFF;
$g = ($rgb >> 8) & 0xFF;
$b = $rgb & 0xFF;
if (($r==$c1[0]) && ($g==$c1[1]) && ($b==$c1[2])) {
imagesetpixel($eyes,$x,$y,$cnew);
}
}
}

imagealphablending($line, 1);
imagealphablending($base, 1);
imagealphablending($base2, 1);
imagealphablending($eyes, 1);
imagealphablending($statc, 1);

$i= array($base, $eyes, $base2, $statc, $line);

$s = imagemergealpha($i);

//Merge multiple images and keep transparency

//$i is and array of the images to be merged:
// $i[1] will be overlayed over $i[0]
// $i[2] will be overlayed over that
// ...

//the function returns the resulting image ready for saving

function imagemergealpha($i) {

//create a new image
$s = imagecreatetruecolor(imagesx($i[0]),imagesy($i[1]));

//merge all images
imagealphablending($s,true);
$z = $i;
while($d = each($z)) {
imagecopy($s,$d[1],0,0,0,0,imagesx($d[1]),imagesy($d[1]));
}

//restore the transparency
imagealphablending($s,false);
$w = imagesx($s);
$h = imagesy($s);
for($x=0;$x<$w;$x++) {
for($y=0;$y<$h;$y++) {
$c = imagecolorat($s,$x,$y);
$c = imagecolorsforindex($s,$c);
$z = $i;
$t = 0;
while($d = each($z)) {
$ta = imagecolorat($d[1],$x,$y);
$ta = imagecolorsforindex($d[1],$ta);
$t += 127-$ta['alpha'];
}
$t = ($t > 127) ? 127 : $t;
$t = 127-$t;
$c = imagecolorallocatealpha($s,$c['red'],$c['green'],$c['blue'],$t);
imagesetpixel($s,$x,$y,$c);
}
}

imagesavealpha($s,true);
return $s;

header('Location: complete.php');

}

?>
And /includes/general.php is just the file that connects to the database.

I'm SO sorry, I know it's a ton of stuff to read, but I want to make sure the problem isn't just in demo.php. Also, I'm aware that my script(s) are messy and may have some unnecessary coding, so just ignore that unless it has anything to do with my problem XD To clarify, I did not actually literally write the image generating script all by myself. I used php.net and googled some stuff to reference.

Thanks
