Question

How can I merge two images in PHP without GD?

Answer 1

PHP doesn't have the built in support to do what your asking. You'll need to

• Execute another command line script/program that can

• Install one of the many image manipulation libs and work with that

• Possibly find a 3rd party API that you can send a request and get a response of the merged images?

• Do as Emil suggested (Requires install: http://bg.php.net/manual/en/imagick.setup.php)

Answer 2

You can use Imagick.
