PHP is not limited to creating HTML output, it can also create and process images in a variety of formats including GIF, PNG, JPEG, WBMP, and XPM. More conveniently, PHP can directly output the image data stream to the browser. To use the image processing function in PHP, you need to compile PHP together with the GD Library. The GD library and PHP may require additional libraries, depending on the format of the image you are working with. You can use the image functions in PHP to get the size of images in the following formats: JPEG, GIF, PNG, SWF, TIFF, and JPEG2000. If combined with an exif extension, you can manipulate the information stored in the header of the JPEG and TIFF image files so that the metadata generated by the digital camera can be obtained. EXIF-related functions do not need to be used by the GD library.
You can use phpinfo.php to obtain the installation configuration information for the GD library:
