A simple wrapper for image in PHP

ImageWrapper is one of my simplistic OOP Wrappers for PHP. My goal with this project was to create a library which is lightweight, has little to no dependencies and requires little to no explanation on how it works. And I think that I definitely succeeded. Image wrapper has no dependencies, is not very complex and extremely simple to integrate in existing or new web applications.

Keep in mind that this software is still in development. It's currently in a state that is absolutely useable in productive environments, but it may have occasional bugs here and there, especially with older GDLb versions. If you notice a bug, please leave an issue, stating exactly the PHP Version and GDLib version you're using.

Installation:

You can easiely install ImageWrapper via composer:

composer require realitaetsverlust/imagewrapper

What can ImageWrapper do for you:

• Load, edit, convert and output images of any kind with ease
• Provide a nice to use API for all filetypes
• No fancy stuff: Every method maps to one, sometimes two PHP functions. Very straighforward

For example: You want to load an image called test.png, convert it into a JPEG file and output it:

use Realitaetsverlust\Wrapper\ImageTypes\Jpeg;
use Realitaetsverlust\Wrapper\ImageTypes\Png;

$image = new Png('test.png');
$image->convert(new Jpeg());
$image->output('test.jpeg');

Tadaa, that's all necessary to convert an image from PNG to JPEG. If you prefer it a little bit fancier, you can also make use of the method chaining ImageWrapper provides:

use Realitaetsverlust\Wrapper\ImageTypes\Jpeg;
use Realitaetsverlust\Wrapper\ImageTypes\Png;

$image = new Png('test.png');
$image->convert(new Jpeg())->output('test.jpeg');

Almost every method returns itself in the end, with a few exceptions. So you can chain methods as often and as much as you like!

Also, if you don't know which kind of image you have there or you simply don't want to bother, no worries, ImageWrapper got your back. There is ImageFactory::create() that automatically checks the filetype using exif_imagetype() and returns the corresponding object:

use Realitaetsverlust\Wrapper\ImageFactory;

$image = ImageFactory::create('test.png'); // Will return a Png Object
$image = ImageFactory::create('test.jpg'); // Will return a Jpeg Object
$image = ImageFactory::create('image_with_no_extension'); // Will return the correct object, whatever it is

ImageWrapper has support for all image types PHP supports, which are:

• .png
• .jpeg
• .gif
• .webp
• .bmp
• .wbmp
• .xbm
• .xpm (only read, no write)

The elements of the library:

ImageBase:

ImageBase is the base class of all images. It's an abstract class that contains definitions for all methods. Every method maps to one PHP function, sometimes two if the two methods are very similar. A full documentation of methods inside ImageBase is below

Color:

The Color() class is a RGB representation which is used throughout the the library. The main advantage of it is that it can convert RGB values as well as a hex-based string (#ff00ff) and even CMYK.

Every time a function expects a color represenation, you should pass a Color object. This may look like the following:

$image->colorize(new \Realitaetsverlust\Wrapper\Color(255, 0, 0));

This will colorize the image red. However, you can, as mentioned above, also add other values that represent a color:

$image->colorize(new \Realitaetsverlust\Wrapper\Color("#FF0000")); // Hex
$image->colorize(new \Realitaetsverlust\Wrapper\Color(0, 100, 100, 0)); // CMYK

Usually, you never have to care about the allocation of the color, the picture class handles those by itself. However, the method allocateColor() allows you to perform the allocation of colors yourself.

Method-Documentation:

public function output(string $destination = null, ?): bool 

Outputs the image. If $destination is set, the image is saved at the given path. If it is not, it's directly send as output.

This method is ont inside ImageBase, but inside the child classes. PHPs output functions are not very streamlined which makes it really hard to write a proper function for all of them.

public function convert(ImageBase $imageType): ImageBase

Converts an image from one image type to another. Please keep in mind that this function returns a new object you have to use. So something like the following will not work.

$image = new Png('test.png');
$image->convert(new Jpeg());
$image->output('test.jpeg');

Chaining the methods, however, will obviously work.

public function sendHeaders() : void

This method sends the headers as a browser would expect them in the format Content-Type: image/png. They are determined by image_type_to_mime_type(). In general, you don't have to call this function yourself, it is called automatically if the method output() does not get any $destination parameter. However, there may be a situation where you want to fire the function yourself, for example if you want to set some parameters before you send the image to the receiver.

public function getFileType(): string

Returns the current file type of the image. This is not determined by the extension, but by exif_imagetype()

public function getImageSize(): array 

Returns the file size of the image.

public function getMinQuality(): int 

Returns the minimum quality PHP accepts in the output function.

public function getMaxQuality(): int

public function drawArc(int $cx, int $cy, int $width, int $height, int $start, int $end, Color $color, int $style = null): ImageBase

Draws an arc. if $style is passed, the arc will be filled

public function drawChar(bool $drawVertical, int $font, int $x, int $y, string $c, int $color): ImageBase

Draws a char horizontally or vertically onto the image.

public function getColoarAt(int $x, int $y): int|false 

Fetches the color value at a specific location

public function cutPartial(int $x, int $y, int $width, int $height): ImageBase
