Eksempel 1. Example to handle an error during creation (courtesy vic at zymsys dot com)

<?php
function LoadGif ($imgname)
{
    
$im = @imagecreatefromgif ($imgname); /* Attempt to open */
    
if (!$im) { /* See if it failed */
        
$im = imagecreate (150, 30); /* Create a blank image */
        
$bgc = imagecolorallocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
        
$tc = imagecolorallocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
        
imagefilledrectangle ($im, 0, 0, 150, 30, $bgc);
        
/* Output an errmsg */
        
imagestring ($im, 1, 5, 5, "Error loading $imgname", $tc);
    }
    return
$im;
}
?>

Bemærk: GIF support was removed from the GD library in Version 1.6, and added back in Version 2.0.28. This function is not available between these versions.

Vink: Du kan bruge en URL som filnavn med denne funktion, hvis fopen wrappers er slået til. Se fopen() for flere detaljer omkring hvordan man udformer filnavnet og Appendiks L for en liste over understøttede URL-protokoller.

Advarsel

Windows versioner af PHP før PHP 4.3.0 understøtter ikke adgang til fjernfiler via denne funktion, også selv om allow_url_fopen er slået til.
