I modified cbl25's function to allow it to rotate an image either clock wise or counter clock wise.
<?php
function rotateImage($image, $direction) {
$direction = strtolower($direction);
$degrees = $direction == 'cw' ? 270 : ($direction == 'ccw' ? 90 : NULL);
if(!$degrees)
return $image;
$width = imagesx($image);
$height = imagesy($image);
$side = $width > $height ? $width : $height;
$imageSquare = imagecreatetruecolor($side, $side);
imagecopy($imageSquare, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $width, $height);
imagedestroy($image);
$imageSquare = imagerotate($imageSquare, $degrees, 0, -1);
$image = imagecreatetruecolor($height, $width);
$x = $degrees == 90 ? 0 : ($height > $width ? 0 : ($side - $height));
$y = $degrees == 270 ? 0 : ($height < $width ? 0 : ($side - $width));
imagecopy($image, $imageSquare, 0, 0, $x, $y, $height, $width);
imagedestroy($imageSquare);
return $image;
}
//Usage
$image = rotateImage($image, 'cw');
$image = rotateImage($image, 'ccw');
?>
imagerotate
(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)
imagerotate — Rotate an image with a given angle
Description
Rotates the image image using the given angle in degrees.
The center of rotation is the center of the image, and the rotated image is scaled down so that the whole rotated image fits in the destination image - the edges are not clipped.
Parameters
- image
-
An image resource, returned by one of the image creation functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor().
- angle
-
Rotation angle, in degrees.
- bgd_color
-
Specifies the color of the uncovered zone after the rotation
- ignore_transparent
-
If set and non-zero, transparent colors are ignored (otherwise kept).
Return Values
ChangeLog
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 5.1.0 | ignore_transparent was added. |
Examples
Example #1 Rotate an image 180 degrees
This example rotates an image 180 degrees - upside down.
<?php
// File and rotation
$filename = 'test.jpg';
$degrees = 180;
// Content type
header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
// Load
$source = imagecreatefromjpeg($filename);
// Rotate
$rotate = imagerotate($source, $degrees, 0);
// Output
imagejpeg($rotate);
?>
The above example will output something similar to:

Here is a simple function to rotate a non-square image 90 degrees clockwise.
<?php
function rotateImage($imageResource)
{
$width = imagesx($imageResource);
$height = imagesy($imageResource);
$side = $width > $height ? $width : $height;
$squareImage = imagecreatetruecolor($side, $side);
imagecopy($squareImage,$imageResource,0,0,0,0,$width,$height);
$squareImage = imagerotate($squareImage,270,0,-1);
$imageResource = imagecreatetruecolor($height, $width);
$x = $height > $width ? 0 : $side - $height;
imagecopy($imageResource,$squareImage,0,0,$x,0,$height,$width);
return $imageResource;
}

I am not sure why you would be defining your own PI, instead of using the built-in constant, and why you do the degrees to radian conversion manually. There might be a speed issue, however here is the exact same code with that small difference.

if(!function_exists("imagerotate")) {
function imagerotate(&$srcImg, $angle, $transparentColor = null) {
$srcw = imagesx($srcImg);
$srch = imagesy($srcImg);
if($angle == 0) return $srcImg;
// Convert the angle to radians
$theta = deg2rad ($angle);
// Get the origin (center) of the image
$originx = $srcw / 2;
$originy = $srch / 2;
// The pixels array for the new image
$pixels = array();
$minx = 0;
$maxx = 0;
$miny = 0;

for($y=0;$y<$srch;$y++) {
list($x1, $y1) = translateCoordinate($originx, $originy, $x, $y, false);
$x2 = $x * cos($theta) - $y * sin($theta);
$y2 = $x * sin($theta) + $y * cos($theta);
// Store the pixel color
$pixels[] = array($x2, $y2, imagecolorat($srcImg, $x, $y));

Shortly after posting I was informed about a very nice algorithm for calculating the new pixel position for a rotation and thought it would be a nice improvement. Hopes this helps anyone needing a full implementation.

Thanks to the people who contributed the code for the 90 180 and 270 rotations. I needed a full implementation however so I wrote one. By no mean do I think this is the best way of doing it, I just whipped this together for myself. Seems to work good for me.
Note: I didn't want the image to be shrunk when rotating so this implementation will keep the size of the original image but just rotate it.

This function does not resize the image being rotated, as indicated by the phrase, "the rotated image is scaled down so that the whole rotated image fits in the destination image." The returned image resource is resized up so as to exactly fit the rotated source image.
For those using Ubuntu, if you have permission to access your PHP modules directory, you can snag a bundled php-gd.so from another distribution (such as Red Hat or Mandriva) and replace yours, and you should be good to go (I was). Remember, though, that the reason Ubuntu does not do this is because of security, so be responsible!

I took the previous mentioned code and optimized it a little bit. It does some speed improvements for me, but I did no exact measurements. Instead of decrementing by 1 in each cycle of the for-loops, I did the decrementing once before the loops. Maybe further improvements can be made...

the solution barbarism at oscillatewildly dot com came up with to use -1 to preserve transparency apparently only works if you have PHP5 settings on your host.
(This took me 2 days to figure out. I hope I save someone else that time.)
My settings:
PHP Version: 5.2.2
GD Version: bundled (2.0.34 compatible)
Working in PHP5 Example:
<?php
$filename = 'picturewithtransparency.png';
$degrees = -90; // tilt it
header('Content-type: image/png');
$source = imagecreatefrompng($filename);
$rotate = imagerotate($source, $degrees, -1);
imagealphablending($rotate, true);
imagesavealpha($rotate, true);
imagepng($rotate);
?>

imagerotate seems to be very fussy about handling transparency when copymerging onto another image. You can use the GD library's other transparency features to cover up the fact imagerotate gets it wrong HOWEVER it will only work if the top-left corner of the image is transparent at all rotations, so make the image a little bigger than it needs to be. This has been tested with png32 but does not work entirely for png8, as a phenomena creates noise around the rotated image.
<?php
$imgImage = imagecreatefrompng("image.png");
$colBlack = imagecolorallocate($imgImage, 0, 0, 0);
$imgImage = imagerotate($imgImage, 360 - $intHeading, 0);
imagefill($imgImage, 0, 0, $colBlack);
imagecolortransparent($imgImage, $colBlack);
imagecopymerge($imgOriginalImage , $imgImage, $intX, $intY, 0, 0, $intHeight, $intWidth, 100);
imagedestroy($imgImage);
?>
Note. $intHeading is in degrees clockwise :)

function rotate($degrees)

if(function_exists("imagerotate"))
$this->image = imagerotate($this->image, $degrees, 0);

This one works better than the one below from the 12th February and if the faster function is available it will take that.
It is still not optimized but turning pictures works better..

My php install does not have imagerotate (ubuntu). So, after fiddling with a few others I wrote my own code to rotate images in 90 degree increments. Any speed improvements would be great.

$src_x = imagesx($src_img);
$src_y = imagesy($src_img);

$dest_x = $src_y;
$dest_y = $src_x;
} else {
$dest_x = $src_x;
$dest_y = $src_y;
}
$rotate=imagecreatetruecolor($dest_x,$dest_y);
imagealphablending($rotate, false);
switch ($angle) {
case 90:
for ($y = 0; $y < ($src_y); $y++) {
for ($x = 0; $x < ($src_x); $x++) {
$color = imagecolorat($src_img, $x, $y);
imagesetpixel($rotate, $dest_x - $y - 1, $x, $color);
}
}
break;
case -90:
for ($y = 0; $y < ($src_y); $y++) {
for ($x = 0; $x < ($src_x); $x++) {
$color = imagecolorat($src_img, $x, $y);
imagesetpixel($rotate, $y, $dest_y - $x - 1, $color);
}
}
break;
case 180:
for ($y = 0; $y < ($src_y); $y++) {
for ($x = 0; $x < ($src_x); $x++) {
$color = imagecolorat($src_img, $x, $y);
imagesetpixel($rotate, $dest_x - $x - 1, $dest_y - $y - 1, $color);
}
}
break;

note for this message : "I was having a problem with rotating a PNG. I used -1 for ignore_transparent and in Firefox the uncovered area was transparent but in IE it showed as grey.
The real problem is IE 6.0 does not support transparent PNGs. So don't blame the imagerotatefunction. I don't know about IE 7 though."
In fact, IE6 doesn't handle the transparency for 24 bits PNG images. But it does for 8 bits PNG. (This problem has been solved with IE7).
Meanwhile, even if the input image is a 8 bits one, the image returned by imagesrotate is a 24 bit one ... so IE6 wont correctly display it.

with large file, where imagerotate is missing, you can use, when possible "convert" command from ImageMagick. Here is a sample script.
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
header("Content-type: image/png");
$file = 'images/test/imgp2498.jpg';
image_rotate_with_convert($file, 90);
function image_rotate_with_convert($file, $angle){
passthru("convert -rotate $angle $file -");

If you pass "-1" into the last param of imagecreatefrompng, it preserves PNG transparently properly!
Exampe:
$filename = './documents/135.pdf.png';
$degrees = 40;
header('Content-type: image/png');
$source = imagecreatefrompng($filename);
$rotate = imagerotate($source, $degrees, -1);
imagealphablending($rotate, true);
imagesavealpha($rotate, true);
imagepng($rotate);

$grad=$wert+$null;
$kompass=imagecreatefromjpeg("bilder/kompass_ohne.jpg");
$nadel=imagecreatefromjpeg("bilder/nadel_bleu.jpg");
$mov_nadel= imagerotate($nadel, $grad, $bgcolor);
$xKom=imagesx($kompass);

imagecopy ( $kompass, $mov_nadel, $x2Nad, $y2Nad, 0, 0, $xNad, $xNad );
header("Content-type: image/jpg");

imagedestroy($nadel);
imagedestroy($kompass);

It's worth noting this function will only rotate true colour images - If you have a 256 colour pallet based image it will not rotate with this. Use the following code to convert the 256 colour image to truecolour first:
<?php
if (!imageistruecolor($im))
{
$w = imagesx($im);
$h = imagesy($im);
$t_im = imagecreatetruecolor($w,$h);
imagecopy($t_im,$im,0,0,0,0,$w,$h);
$im = $t_im;
}
?>
I have found no mention of this shortcoming of imagerotate anywhere on the Internet. Hopefully this will limit the number of people who, like me, are trying to troubleshoot a perfectly operation PHP install.
