Talking about Facebook and Php.

Horror Profile is a Facebook application I developed a month ago.

Now it’s time to release the source code. You will find some useful tips about dynamic image creation with php.

If you are absolutely new to Facebook applications, I suggest you to read “Developing a Facebook Application for absolute beginners” posts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

The idea is simple: placing the profile picture in a mirror (that is a transparent PNG image) and writing the user first name as big as I can.

500){
	          $it_fits=false;
	     }
	} while($it_fits);
	
	// adding the text
	$center = floor((500-$last_dim[4]+$last_dim[6])/2);
	imagettftext($im, $size-1, 0, $center, $last_dim[7]*-1+10, $shadow, $font, $text);
	imagettftext($im, $size-1, 0, $center-1, $last_dim[7]*-1+9, $color, $font, $text);
	
	// saving the image
	imagejpeg($im,"temp/".$id.".jpg",80);
	// freeing memory
	imagedestroy($im);
	imagedestroy($profile);
	imagedestroy($mirror);
}

?>




require_login();

$my_array = $facebook->api_client->users_getInfo($user_id,"first_name,pic_big");

// getting user name and profile picture
$text = $my_array[0][first_name];
$pic = $my_array[0][pic_big];

// core function: creation of the horror picture
create_pic($user_id,$text,$pic);

$has_permission = $facebook->api_client->users_hasAppPermission("photo_upload");

if($has_permission and $_GET[pub]){
	$response_array = $facebook->api_client->photos_upload("temp/".$user_id.".jpg", "", "Created with http://apps.facebook.com/horror_name/", $user_id);
}

?>
