imagerotate — Rotate an image with a given angle
$image
, float $angle
, int $bgd_color
[, int $ignore_transparent = 0
] )
Rotates the image image using the given
angle in degrees.
The center of rotation is the center of the image, and the rotated image may have different dimensions than the original image.
imageAn image resource, returned by one of the image creation functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor().
angleRotation angle, in degrees. The rotation angle is interpreted as the number of degrees to rotate the image anticlockwise.
bgd_colorSpecifies the color of the uncovered zone after the rotation
ignore_transparentIf set and non-zero, transparent colors are ignored (otherwise kept).
Returns an image resource for the rotated image, or FALSE on failure.

Example #1 Rotate an image 180 degrees
This example rotates an image 180 degrees - upside down.
<?php
// File and rotation
$filename = 'test.jpg';
$degrees = 180;
// Content type
header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
// Load
$source = imagecreatefromjpeg($filename);
// Rotate
$rotate = imagerotate($source, $degrees, 0);
// Output
imagejpeg($rotate);
// Free the memory
imagedestroy($source);
imagedestroy($rotate);
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
