{ 72 comments }

We received many tutorial requests from 9lessons readers that asked how to generate watermark image using PHP. In this post Arun Kumar Sekar coded two functions such as watermark_text() and watermark_image() to generate text and images watermarks on images. Integrate this to your web project upload image system and produce copyright photos.
