Image watermark with PHP

To prevent quality images being stolen, we can use PHP to watermark web-images in popular formats like GIF/PNG/JPEG. We print a transparent gif-image on a jpeg-photo in this tutorial. For best results use gif than png, because some png formats require extra functions to print a transparent image. We can convert this script to a batch-watermarker easily to watermark photo albums/galleries with multiple pictures by putting code in a loop or create a function.

Steps:

1.Load both images
2.Get size of both images
3.Copy watermark to main image
4.Print image to screen
