New To Image Functions

[ShoeLace1291]

I haven't worked with image manipulation much.  I am making a website for my clan.  Members can register and upload their photos to their profile.  On the index is an area that lists the four newest members.  I want an image that will display the photo the member uploaded in the background, the member's rank symbol, and the member's gamertag.  All of this information is stored in a database.  I just don't know how to do any of this.  I want it to be something like memphoto.php?gamertag=somegamertag. 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Make your subset images (The ranks)

Make a file uploader

Verify the uploaded file is valid

Use GD functions to resize the uploaded image

Create a new image from background using the uploaded

Add the subset information above this new image

save the image to a file path associated with the file name or store its binary in mysql

recall it (if its in mysql you will need to recreate the jpeg on each load)

 

There are lot of upload tutorials out there
