A simple question motivated by a curiosity, with probably a complex answer: Is it possible to emulate the new PHP 5.5 imagecrop() in earlier versions, like 5.4, by combining other GD functions?
Awn.. But without the imagecrop() black line bug, please. :p
This should be a drop-in replacement for imagecrop()
(without the bug...):
function mycrop($src, array $rect)
{
$dest = imagecreatetruecolor($rect['width'], $rect['height']);
imagecopy(
$dest,
$src,
0,
0,
$rect['x'],
$rect['y'],
$rect['width'],
$rect['height']
);
return $dest;
}
Usage:
$img = mycrop($img, ['x' => 10, 'y' => 10, 'width' => 100, 'height' => 100]);
Note that the bug is apparently fixed in PHP 5.6.12.
