This is a simple package that creates image placeholders using the GD Library. It makes it possible to self host a service to create an imge placeholder just like (placehold.it)
- PHP GD
composer require samcrosoft/placeholder:"dev-master"
To create a simple image placeholder that would be returned as an http response is simple as described below
<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Samcrosoft\Placeholder\Placeholder;
header ("Content-type: image/png");
/*
* Generate an image object
*/
$oPlaceholder = new Placeholder();
/*
* Make a placeholder using parameters from the url
*/
$oImage = $oPlaceholder->makePlaceholderFromURL();
// Render image
imagepng($oImage);
-
width -> [w] (default is
Placeholder::DEFAULT_IMAGE_WIDTH
), this should be an integer
-
height -> [h] (default is
Placeholder::DEFAULT_IMAGE_HEIGHT
), this should be an integer also

Background Color -> [b] (default is
#000
which is black), note that when passing the background color as a
querystring, the #
character in the URL should be omitted
