This project will require that PHP be installed with the GD library (available at http:\/\/www.boutell.com\/gd\/, or bundled along with PHP 4.3 and later).<br \/>The purpose of the program we are about to create is to sharpen up our image-manipulation skills. Some of you may never have worked with images before, but that&#8217;s okay. This tutorial is still a good thinking exercise, and it will come in handy if you ever find yourself needing to create or manipulate images using PHP.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"citation\"><cite><a href=\"http:\/\/www.devshed.com\/c\/a\/PHP\/An-Image-is-Worth-a-Thousand-Words-in-PHP\/\">An Image is Worth a Thousand Words in PHP<\/a><\/cite>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article, the first of two parts, describes a fun little project that will help you sharpen your image manipulation skills.
