Question

I want to have a system in my Joomla website where user can upload their image and create and design a product image by having the product template. For example the keychain needs to be design.
Can any one recommend is this possible with PhP? or I need some other platform to work on.

Thanks

This can be done with GD or Imagemagick libraries for PHP.

Here is a sample script I wrote a while back to composite an image to a blank coffee mug using PHP and imagemagick. This should be very similar to what you’re trying to do.

<?php

$im = new Imagick('image.jpg');
$mug = new Imagick('images/mug.png');

$im->scaleImage(300, 0);

$im->setImageFormat('png');
$im->setImageVirtualPixelMethod(Imagick::VIRTUALPIXELMETHOD_TRANSPARENT);
$im->setImageMatte(true);

$height = $im->getImageHeight();

$mug->compositeImage($im, $im->getImageCompose(), 80, 130);

header("Content-Type: image/png");
echo $mug;

?>
