How to use PHP to achieve filter effects on images

Abstract:
In web development, in order to improve user experience, images are often filtered . This article will introduce how to use PHP to implement image filter effects, and help readers get started quickly through simple code examples.

1. Preparation
Before starting, you need to make sure that PHP and GD libraries have been installed. The GD library is a PHP extension library for processing images. You can install it through the following command:

sudo apt-get install php-gd

After the installation is completed, you need to enable the GD library in the php.ini file and uncomment the following line:

extension=gd2

Restart the web server to make the changes take effect.

2. Image processing

1. Load the original image
   First, we need to load the original image. You can use PHP's imagecreatefromjpeg, imagecreatefrompng or imagecreatefromgif function to select the corresponding function according to the format of the image. The following is a sample code:

   $photo = imagecreatefromjpeg('original.jpg');

2. Create filter effects
   Next, we can create different filter effects. The following are several common filter effect sample codes:
   (1) Grayscale filter

   imagefilter($photo, IMG_FILTER_GRAYSCALE);

   (2) Inversion filter

   imagefilter($photo, IMG_FILTER_NEGATE);

   (3) Brightness adjustment

   imagefilter($photo, IMG_FILTER_BRIGHTNESS, 30);

   (4) Contrast adjustment

   imagefilter($photo, IMG_FILTER_CONTRAST, -20);

   (5) Blur filter

   imagefilter($photo, IMG_FILTER_GAUSSIAN_BLUR);

3. Save the processed image
   After processing the filter effect , you can use the imagejpeg, imagepng or imagegif function to save the image in the corresponding format. The following is a sample code saved in JPEG format:

   imagejpeg($photo, 'filtered.jpg');

4. Output the processed image
   If you want to display the processed image directly in the browser, you can use Functions such as header and imagejpeg are output. The following is a sample code:

   header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
   imagejpeg($photo);

5. Destroy image resources
   After processing the filter effect, you need to use the imagedestroy function to destroy the image resource to release memory . The following is a sample code:

   imagedestroy($photo);

   3. Summary
   This article introduces how to use PHP to achieve the filter effect of images. By loading the original image, creating different filter effects, saving the processed image, and exporting the processed image, you can easily achieve the effect of image filters. Readers can adjust the filter parameters as needed to achieve satisfactory results.
