GifCreator is a PHP class to create animated GIF from multiple images

### For what ?

This class helps you to create an animated GIF image: give multiple images and their duration and that's it !

### Usage

**1 - Creation:**

```php

// Create an array containing file paths, resource var (initialized with imagecreatefromXXX), 

// image URLs or even binary code from image files.

// All sorted in order to appear.

$frames = array(

    imagecreatefrompng("/../images/pic1.png"), // Resource var

    "/../images/pic2.png", // Image file path

    file_get_contents("/../images/pic3.jpg"), // Binary source code

    'http://thisisafakedomain.com/images/pic4.jpg', // URL

);

// Create an array containing the duration (in millisecond) of each frames (in order too)

$durations = array(40, 80, 40, 20);

// Initialize and create the GIF !

$gc = new GifCreator();

$gc->create($frames, $durations, 5);

```

The 3rd parameter of create() method allows you to choose the number of loop of your animated gif before it stops.

In the previous example, I chose 5 loops. Set 0 (zero) to get an infinite loop.

**2 - Get the result:**

You can now get the animated GIF binary:

```php

$gifBinary = $gc->getGif();

```

Then you can show it in the navigator:

```php

header('Content-type: image/gif');

header('Content-Disposition: filename="butterfly.gif"');

echo $gifBinary;

exit;

```

Or save it in a folder as a GIF:

```php

file_put_contents('/myfolder/animated_picture.gif', $gifBinary);

```

### Behavior

- The transparency is based on the first given frame. It will be saved only if you give multiple frames with same transparent background.

- The dimensions of the generated GIF are based on the first frame. If you need to resize your frames to get the same dimension, you can use

### About

The class reuses some part of code of "GIFEncoder.class.php" by László Zsidi (thanks to him).
