Tuesday, March 13. 2007Easy Reflections v3
Today I released Version 3 of Easy Reflections. This version brings about some significant advances, including full support for PNG alpha transparency in the source image, alpha transparency in the output image allowing for overlaying the mirrored images on-top of complex backgrounds or gradients, and colour tinting / saturation support.
It uses an as-yet undocumented PHP command: imagelayereffect() which I've found to work extremely well for this script. Undocumented doesn't mean 'unfinished' thankfully, but if the PHP group do update this command in the future, I'll amend this script accordingly. Thanks to those of you who commented on my previous release and sent emails. It was your suggestions that prompted this Version 3. If you do ever use this script on a web site, please let me know so I can add it to the list. Grab everything you need from here: http://reflection.corephp.co.uk Trackbacks

I agree with Brendon, very nice job. Always nice to see little freebie scripts like this one, gave you a plug and looking forward to seeing what else you come up with in the future.
Very nice script.
Try foreshortening the returned image. I have found that grabbing 2X the desired height, then resizing to the original height before returning the image looks more like a reflection.
Thanks for sharing your work.

I have used the reflection.js on my site but I would like to try this php script. Not to sharp on the technical stuff...so I ask: Do I put my image in the [' img '] in the two lines below?
if (isset($_GET['img']))
$source_image = $_GET['img'];
Is there anything else I need to do if default is my starting point?
Thanks for your help...Ron
This doesn't work correctly in Internet Explorer 6 of course because it doesn't support 24-Bit PNG alpha transparency. So I tried different PNG alpha fixes for ie6. However, this script will only work with those fixes if you put the height parameter first, otherwise the background will still be gray:
Maybe this is helpful to someone. Anyhow, a very nice script!

Hi - Most IE PNG fixes I've seen that use JavaScript and DOM checking for image tags only work if the element has been assigned a fixed height, either via CSS or within the img tag itself, which is most likely what you are experiencing here.
it does not work too.
help me please... i ever used so much png fix tools...

if original picture is a jpg file, and not a png file, then you can't fix this..
i want to know the Solution.

hi
i'd like to use your script for a js image carousel but i need the src img to be "img/img.jpg" style. How can i apply the reflection calling your script once (ie not like: "reflect.php?/img/img.jpg").
Thanks

but..
how I can use images from mysql database :(
tks
hi...
how I can use reflections with images stored in mysql database..
tks
you can use an php file that reads the image from the database and outputs it.
then you can do something like this:
eflect_v3.php?img=dbimage.php?imageid=12
i love to use a rewrite rule to create nicer url's:
RewriteRule ^/reflections/(.*).png /eflect_v3.php?img=dbimage.php?imageid=$1
email me if you need help with the rewrite!
thank you for this script.
it looks not transparent in ie6 . and pngfix.js is not work for picture.

can you sent me an SQL dump of your database tabled and the records so i can try it out for myself
btw does directly loading dbimage.php work? (so without the mod rewrite)
Hi Richard, nice script.
Here's some code you could add if you want to merge the original and the reflection like in version 2.x but with alpha transparency:
$finaloutput = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height+$new_height);
imagesavealpha($finaloutput, true);
imagealphablending($finaloutput, false);
// sets background to transparent
$transparentColour = imagecolorallocatealpha($finaloutput, 0, 0, 0, 127);
imagefill($finaloutput, 0, 0, $transparentColour);
imagecopy($finaloutput, $source, 0, 0, 0, 0, $width, $height);
imagecopy($finaloutput, $output, 0, $height, 0, 0, $width, $new_height);
$output = $finaloutput;
/*
----------------------------------------------------------------
Output our final PNG
----------------------------------------------------------------
*/

I always create the alpha code, But I do not the code that I created before. How can it be possible?
Hi. Nice work.
I have a problem.
I try to copy like that:
copy("reflect_v3.php?img=image.jpg","img/reflect.png");
And I can't do it.
Wath is the best way to do this?
The error is:
Warning: copy(reflect_v3.php?img=image.jpg) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: No error in D:\wamp\www\mail\functions.php on line 49
functions.php is in the same directory than reflect_v3.php.
Thank you.
